High quality afterschool programs lead to better youth outcomes.  For more than 15 years, the Afterschool Quality Committee has provided leadership in building Missouri’s afterschool quality infrastructure.  Since MASN also provides training and technical assistance to 21st CCLC and SAC funded programs, the services for grantees have been coordinated with the work of the Quality Committee resulting in training, technical assistance, resources, data collection, and evaluation resources being available to both grantee and non-grantee programs. 

Many projects and partners contribute to Missouri’s afterschool system.
