NJSACC MAKES AN IMPACT
NJSACC advocates for and strengthens the network of out-of-school time providers throughout New Jersey with professional development, resources, and technical assistance.
Our goal is to build the capacity of OST professionals to deliver high-quality, sustainable programming that maximizes results for children and families.
Through our work, we aim to ensure all New Jersey youth have access to high quality and sustainable OST programs that provide safe learning environments, support the development of interpersonal skills, and set the path for college and career readiness.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Help further increase NJSACC’s impact and address the unmet demand for afterschool programs as follows:
- Funding: Increase funding to expand access to afterschool and OST programs.
- Professional Development: Invest further in the professional development of the afterschool and OST workforce to ensure high-quality programming that meet the needs of New Jersey’s youth and remain aligned with New Jersey’s Quality Standards for Afterschool.
Support efforts in data collection to assist with tracking the unmet demand and the number of children on waitlists for afterschool and OST programs to inform advocacy efforts and program expansion.
