Afterschool Survey:
The Northwest Regional Education Lab, in conjunction with Oregon ASK (Oregon After-School for Kids), is conducting a statewide inventory of after-school and summer programming.This project is funded by Spirit Mountain CommunityFund.
If you are not familiar with Oregon ASK,they are a collaborative of public and private organizations and community members who seek to address common issues and concerns across all after school and out-of-school time services - child care, recreation, education, and youth development. The start-up of this statewide afterschool network has been funded by the Mott Foundation as part of a multi-state effort to better fund and coordinate afterschool programming on a state-wide basis. They are conducting this inventory in order to get a baseline understanding of what programming exists in the state and who it is currently serving. You can checkthemout online at http://www.oregonask.org/.
Theywould really appreciate you taking the time to fill out the appropriate survey (one for after-school, one for summer) by clicking on the link(s) below. Thanks in advance for your time -
