The Blueprint outlines considerations that local communities are currently discussing and provides five essential building blocks that together can help ensure that students have access to a multitude of learning settings and trusted adults — all operating with a shared vision – to help support the social, emotional, and academic learning of all young people.

The Blueprint includes:

• School-Community Partnerships
• Commitment to Active and Engaged Learning
• Family Engagement
• Intentional Programming
• Health & Wellbeing

The Blueprint also discusses possible partners that be leveraged; program staffing possibilities; and public funding sources that can be accessed collectively.  Finally, a table is included that demonstrates how school-community partnerships can work in a variety of school reopening scenarios.

The Afterschoool Alliance welcomes feedback on the Blueprint and envisions the resource being useful at the local level as conversations progress.
