Afterschool programs are needed because:
(1) there are many risks associated with
leaving children and youth unsupervised
during afterschool hours.
(2) Several studies have found a number of
benefits result from participation in
high-quality afterschool programs,
including better grades, work habits,
emotional adjustment, and peer relations.

(3) It is generally agreed that retaining

afterschool programs.
