ACT Now! (Afterschool for Children and Teens Now) is a campaign to give all young people in Illinois access to quality afterschool programs.
ACT Now! is supported by Illinois families, educators, business leaders, community advocates, youth organizations, and government. We believe that an increased public commitment to young people beyond the traditional school day is a crucial part of their growth into productive, healthy adults.
In order for afterschool programs to be successful, they must be rooted in neighborhoods and have the support and involvement of parents, local civic and community organizations, and local businesses.
