Ohio's
Afterschool Initiative promotes activities
in the afterschool
environment that provide academic, physical,
and developmental opportunities for children
and youth. Each Child Care Resource and Referral
agency in Ohio has an Afterschool Specialist
who is committed to working with all persons
and programs that have school age children
as part of their program.
Afterschool programs enrich the lives of children and help them enjoy time in
a nurturing environment, and excel in school and life. When we say "afterschool"
we
refer to any time outside the regular school day. Before/after school, weekend,
and summer are all times when children and youth need to be engaged in activities
while not in their parent's care.
YWCA CCR&R has an afterschool specialist.
This specialist is committed to working with
all programs that have school-age children.
The Afterschool Specialist in each CCR&R is available to assist with areas
such as:
Training
about afterschool learning activities
Technical
assistance on ways to improve your
program
Meeting
with other providers to share ideas
Training
and advice on how to improve your
program
A
lending library of books, games
and other materials for you to
use
Start-up – what
you need to do
Licensing – what
you have to do
Help
parents find programs for their
children
