After-school Supplies
The Iowa Afterschool Alliance stays tuned into afterschool trends nationwide and develops materials to share these practices with the Iowa network. From advocacy guides, grant opportunities, templates, and more, the IAA provides a range of resources that programs and partners can access at any time through the website. The Afterschool Advisor monthly newsletter is a great way to get connected to these resources.

Millions of urban children and teens lack access to afterschool programs that provide rich opportunities for growth, learning and fun. One possible solution is to coordinate the work of programs, government agencies, private funders and others involved in afterschool programs—that is, build an afterschool system that is greater than the sum of its parts. Key components of afterschool systems include efforts to improve program quality and collection of data to inform decision-making.
​​Browse reports and other resources the Wallace Foundation provides for insights into making high-quality afterschool programming more readily available to urban young people.
The Out of School Time Professional Development Center provides Out of School Time training to OST professionals. The classes provide in-depth curriculum and certificates.
