Whereas high-quality after-school programs support working 
families by ensuring that their children are safe and pro-
ductive after the regular school day ends; 
Whereas high-quality after-school programs build stronger 
communities by involving the Nation’s students, parents, 
business leaders, and adult volunteers in the lives of the 
Nation’s young people, thereby promoting positive rela-

Whereas high-quality after-school programs engage families,
