The American Rescue Plan has potential support for afterschool and summer in the amount of $30 billion, including nearly $9 million in state set-asides to serve 9 million children, doubling the amount of children now in programs.

The recording provides information on how to access the funds for afterschool and summer programs, what to do, asking for support, potential partners, and tools and resources. School-age child care (SACC) networks are encouraged to widely share this information with their partners.

For more information or further assistance connecting with your school district, please contact your STARS Quality Coach. Pennsylvania's afterschool networks PSAYDN and PENNSACCA are also available to provide assistance.
