Florida Afterschool Network

The Florida Afterschool Network is a non-profit organization based in Tallahassee, Florida, dedicated to expanding access to quality afterschool and summer learning programs for children across the state. With a small team of three employees, the organization has generated over $2.5 million in revenue and operates primarily within the state of Florida. The Florida Afterschool Network focuses on three key areas: collaboration, promotion, and advocacy. They work closely with public and private partners to share resources and best practices with existing afterschool and summer programs. The organization also actively promotes quality standards for these programs, aiming to inform program decisions, raise public awareness, and ultimately accelerate student learning. Finally, the Florida Afterschool Network advocates for policies that increase funding, availability, and accessibility of afterschool and summer programs, ensuring that all children in Florida have the opportunity to benefit. Recognizing the high demand for afterschool programs in Florida, the organization highlights the fact that for every child currently participating in a program, three more are on a waitlist. This emphasizes the critical need for continued expansion and improvement of afterschool and summer learning opportunities across the state.
