COVID-19 Recovery and the American Rescue Plan
Now more than ever, we have the power to be a game changer for everyone. Afterschool and summer learning programs were a lifeline for underserved communities before the pandemic, during the pandemic, and they can play a key role throughout the recovery phase. Afterschool and summer programs are uniquely positioned not only to address learning loss, but to help kids make social, emotional, and academic learning gains that are essential for their success.
