Making Afterschool Learning Count

Afterschool and summer learning programs nationwide are piloting exciting, innovative opportunities for youth to earn credit for learning taking place outside the school day. Through partnerships with afterschool programs, schools, community-based organizations, and businesses, youth are engaging in learning opportunities that earn credits on high school transcripts. From STEM and arts to career readiness and exploration, the possibilities are endless! This panel will highlight programs, share implementation best practices and discuss how to advocate for these opportunities in your community.
