Missouri Afterschool Network

The Missouri AfterSchool Network builds systems across the state that improve, support, and sustain high quality afterschool programs. We work toward the shared goals of: • Building partnerships at the local, state, and national levels. • Supporting policies that sustain and advance afterschool programs. • Ensuring quality by creating statewide systems for programs and professionals. Afterschool programs include school age child care programs and comprehensive afterschool learning and enrichment programs. These programs take place before school, after school, and during the summer. Out-of-school time programs compliment, but do not replicate, the regular school day curriculum. MASN offers a variety of services and supports to afterschool program administrators, site directors, direct service staff, and partners, while raising awareness of the important role afterschool plays in the childcare, K-12 education, and youth workforce development.
