Communities across the nation are adopting afterschool programs to provide students with a safe place to enjoy creative learning opportunities designed to help them improve their grades and self-esteem. In two-thirds of U.S. households with married couples and children under age 18, both parents work outside the home. More than 28 million school-age children have either their only parent or both parents working outside the home. Some 11.3 million go home alone after school each day. After school programs in Adams County provide our youth this safe space to learn skills and be recognized for their accomplishments.
