Afterschool in MS

America After 3PM reveals that the hours after school matter more than ever—and many Mississippi families still lack access to afterschool programs.

Our Mission

The Mississippi Statewide Afterschool Network works to better our state and its communities by connecting providers, parents and policymakers with proven tools and resources to increase the quality of and access to out-of-school time programming for K-12 children and youth.

What We Do

Partnership

We’re committed to advancing high-quality standards among out-of-school time programs across the state, by providing resources, education, and tools that empower programs to provide the best possible environment for youth. 

Quality

We’re dedicated to promoting excellence in out-of-school time programs by supporting continuous improvement, sharing best practices, and helping providers create safe, engaging, and enriching experiences for every child.

Education

We build awareness and support for efforts that expand access to high-quality out-of-school time opportunities, helping ensure every young person in Mississippi has what they need to learn, grow, and thrive beyond the school day.
