SUMMARY:Putting Data to Work for Young People: Bridging Practice and Research through Continuous Improvement
DESCRIPTION:Do you struggle with data collection? Is it difficult for you to know what to measure and how to use data in real time to drive system change\, quality improvement and positive outcomes for youth? \nIn this webinar\, we’ll discuss why data collection is essential\, how we can use data to advance equity goals\, and effective practices for both. We will also preview the newly released Every Hour Counts Measurement Framework and accompanying Guidebook\, resources to help communities set a shared vision and process for using data for improvement—with a focus on advancing equitable systems—at the youth\, program\, and system levels. \nJennifer McCombs from Learning Policy Institute and the RAND Corporation and Anamarie Whitaker with the University of Delaware\, who led the design of the Every Hour Counts Measurement Framework and Guidebook\, will share useful tips on how intermediaries and out-of-school time networks can apply the measurement framework to their own continuous improvement processes. We will hear how one intermediary\, Boston After School & Beyond\, put the framework into practice. Femi Vance\, of the American Institutes for Research\, will share insights based on her observations of how organizations are staging their use of the Framework. \nThis webinar is presented in collaboration with the Afterschool Alliance\, National AfterSchool Association\, Forum for Youth Investment\, and National Summer Learning Association and is made possible with support from The Wallace Foundation. \nPresenters: \n\nJessica Donner\, Executive Director\, Every Hour Counts\nLisa Gomi Hui\, Director of Measurement and Improvement\, Boston After School & Beyond\nDr. Jennifer McCombs\, Director of Research\, Learning Policy Institute\nDr. Femi Vance\, Researcher\, American Institutes for Research\nDr. Anamarie Auger Whitaker\, Assistant Professor\, University of Delaware

SUMMARY:How Out of School Time Programs can Help Families Claim the Expanded Child Tax Credit
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 90% of families in the U.S. became eligible for the Child Tax Credit (CTC) when it was expanded last year. Families can still claim the full 2021 CTC – up to $3\,600 per child per family – by filing tax returns this year. Join the Afterschool Alliance\, Out of School Time Coalition partners\, the Coalition on Human Needs and the Partnership for America’s Children for a training on what the expanded CTC is\, who is eligible\, and how you can help families you work with claim this critical benefit. You do NOT have to be a tax expert. We’ll share ready-to-use resources to help you provide info to families and connect them to tax preparation assistance. The webinar and resources are designed to help you easily integrate CTC outreach to families in your existing programs and communications. Please join us to learn more!

SUMMARY:Lights On Afterschool 101
DESCRIPTION:Every October\, 1 million Americans come together at more than 8\,000 Lights On Afterschool events across the nation. Like afterschool programs\, Lights On Afterschool celebrations come in all shapes and sizes\, and don’t have to be huge to be effective.

We need to celebrate and recognize their efforts\, and call attention to the importance of afterschool supports in the school year ahead. \nWhether this is your first Lights On Afterschool or your 22nd\, join us for this webinar to inspire and help you get the most out of your celebration. \nSpeakers: \n\nCharlotte Steinecke\, Communications Manager\, Afterschool Alliance\nTiyana Glenn\, Project Associate\, Afterschool Alliance\nJohanna L.

SUMMARY:America After 3PM: Demand Grows\, Opportunity Shrinks
DESCRIPTION:Join the Afterschool Alliance Tuesday\, December 8\, at 1 PM EST for a virtual media and field briefing on new nationwide data on demand for afterschool programs and parent views on afterschool opportunities. The report “America After 3PM: Demand Grows\, Opportunity Shrinks\,” includes responses from more than 30\,000 U.S. families and builds on household surveys conducted in 2004\, 2009 and 2014. It offers a pre-pandemic snapshot of how children and youth spend their afternoons and includes a separate survey of parents conducted this fall. \nFor years\, afterschool programs have kept kids safe\, inspired them to learn\, and offered parents peace of mind that their children are constructively engaged in the hours between the end of the school day and when parents return from work. \nCommissioned by the Afterschool Alliance and conducted by Edge Research\, the new study reveals disturbing trends in access to afterschool opportunities\, high unmet demand for afterschool overall\, and paints a stark picture of grave inequities in terms of which families can access and afford afterschool programs.
