Acknowledgments

This document represents the efforts of many educators and community
representatives on the front lines of providing before- and after-school
programs, as well as summer enrichment opportunities, for children
across America. We wish to thank them for sharing their stories with the
Partnership for Family Involvement in Education.

As the second edition, *Working for Children and Families,* was updated
and edited by An-Me Chung, with the assistance of Torey Cummings,
Adriana de Kanter, Kellie Dressler, and Janet Chiancone. The primary
authors for the original volume included Lynson Moore Bobo, Adriana de
Kanter, and Julie Pederson from the U.S. Department of Education, and
Kristyn Noeth and Katrina Weinig from the U.S. Department of Justice.

We particularly appreciate the after-school efforts of the Promising
Practices Task Force of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, whose work
we relied on to develop Chapter 3. The Mott Foundation has pledged more
than \$110 million over six years for after-school training and
technical assistance, Promising Practices, access and equity,
evaluation, and public outreach.

**Finally, thanks to the federal staff members who commented on the
document, including Mari Colvin, Menahem Herman, Sarah Ingersoll, Terry
Peterson, Alexandra Sweeney, Susan Winchell, and Jacquelyn Zimmerman.**
