New Orleans Afterschool Partnership
Afterschool Partnership has been helping programs achieve the highest levels of program quality since 2002. Prior to August 29, 2005, we worked collaboratively with nearly 180 organizations to support afterschool services in Greater New Orleans. The devastation of the storm, the destruction of many of these sites, and the displacement of thousands of citizens resulted in few programs for children and families, refocusing our efforts to provide these needed services in a safe environment.
Since 2005, our work has expanded in response to the critical needs of children and youth living in post-Katrina New Orleans. Working collaboratively, we connect local entities with innovative solutions, best practices research, policy expertise, and training to effect change across city-wide systems. The Partnership continually seeks and supports youth leadership in all areas of our community.
