The Afterschool Academies Guidebook for Action

By Center for Afterschool Education, Foundations Inc.; Community Network for Youth Development; Citizen Schools; Gary and Eve Moody; and the YouthLearn Initiative at EDC

Afterschool Academies are multi-day institutes for staff and leaders who are responsible for or instrumental in creating and leading afterschool programs, including directors, lead staff, network directors, and others. They focus on teaching and learning ‘afterschool style,’ the deliberate and thoughtful blend of content connected to success in school, with approaches and methods based in principles of child and youth development.

This guide is designed for leaders and organizations who want to build from the Academies model to create their own professional development for afterschool education and educators.

The guide was developed under a grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
