VT Afterschool Program Map Project Continues

Vermont Afterschool is excited to be partnering with the Administration to expand afterschool and summer program opportunities for children and youth as we work toward universal afterschool. To help understand the current state of the afterschool, summer, and third-space landscape in Vermont, they are asking afterschool and/or summer programs to complete an informational survey.

The information is being used to create a searchable resource page for families, which the Governor’s Office and other state and local partners will be promoting. Additionally, this information will help identify the best ways to support the field in creating supportive and safe summer spaces.

To add your program to the map, visit the VT Afterschool project's website.
