Afterschool programs provide a safe, caring and nurturing place for extended learning, social, recreational and personal life skills development for students during non-school hours (before- and/or after-school).  An Afterschool program is not a continuation of the school day but extends, expands and enriches the opportunities for experiential learning, social development and recreation.  It incorporates a strong partnership of school, family and community members that collaboratively contribute to the growth of students as they mature into caring, competent and responsible adults.

The Department receives the following two sources of funds for Afterschool programs which are then made available to the local level through a grant award process:  School Age Community (SAC) and/or 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC).  The purpose and requirements for these two grants vary.  See the information below for a brief explanation of each and to view a list of current grant recipients.

New Afterschool Reading Tax Refund Program Available bookworm image

Beginning January 1, 2009 (for the 2008 taxable year) new legislation allows an individual, couple or corporation to contribute their tax refund, or any amount thereof, to the “Afterschool Retreat Reading and Assessment Grant Program.”  If you are not receiving a tax refund you can still make a contribution to this fund by including a separate check, draft or other negotiable instrument with your tax payment, or you may send your contribution in separately.  Please make contribution payments payable to the Treasurer, State of Missouri, Director of Community Education, P.O. Box 480, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102.  Please be sure to clearly designate that your contribution is for the “Afterschool Retreat Reading and Assessment Grant Program.”  With your contribution, we can help more children in need of Reading assistance.   

The "Afterschool Reading Tax Refund Program" will be added in December to the state's list of trust funds maintained by the Department of Revenue, so please check back.


Core Competencies for Youth Development Professionals
The first edition of the Kansas and Missouri Core Competencies for Youth Development Professionals is now available.  These core competencies represent the combined efforts of groups from Kansas and Missouri to define the core competencies for youth development professionals in our states.  The competencies have eight content areas ensuring a comprehensive approach.  Five levels further distinguish the expectations for professionals as they progress from new/untrained to experienced/trained in the field.
