Afterschool works for kids, families, and communities. Period.
Afterschool Works is a statewide issue education campaign to raise awareness about the impact of afterschool and summer programs across Minnesota including those supported by 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21CCLC) and the Afterschool Community Learning Centers (ACLG).
Through stories, data, and community connection, we're uplifting what these programs make possible: joyful learning, caring relationships, and safe spaces where young people grow and thrive.
This campaign is about protecting possibility — not lobbying. We're organizing, educating, and amplifying voices to show why afterschool works, and why it matters now more than ever.
