President Trump’s budget calls for eliminating federal funding for local afterschool and summer programs. If the funding is not maintained, nearly two million children and families would be left without reliable afterschool choices. The House of Representatives has rejected that proposal and instead passed an increase that will allow 100,000 more children to access local afterschool and summer learning programs funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Center initiative.

You can make a difference: call on Congress to protect and increase funding for afterschool and summer learning programs.
