America After 3PM Data is Here!The Afterschool Alliance’s fifth edition of America After 3PM provides new insights about children and families during the hours of 3 to 6 p.m., when schools let out and many parents are working. Data from parents show afterschool programs remain an urgent priority, and millions of families who want to participate are missing out. Afterschool in WisconsinIn Wisconsin, the demand for afterschool programs is incredibly high. Parents value the benefits afterschool programs provide for young people—keeping them safe, helping build life skills, and getting them excited about learning—and say afterschool programs help them keep their jobs and provide peace of mind. Still, just a fraction of Wisconsin families who want afterschool programs have them.
