Afterschool for Children and Teens Now Coalition
The Afterschool for Children and Teens Now (ACT Now) Coalition is a diverse statewide network of more than 2,700 members from across the state. We believe that an increased commitment to young people beyond the traditional school day is a crucial part of their growth into productive, healthy adults.
As part of a larger national afterschool network, ACT Now leverages best practices, resources, and partnerships in order to ensure that young people in Illinois have access to quality, affordable afterschool and youth development programs.
Upcoming Trainings & Events
ACT Now facilitates and hosts a variety of Professional Development opportunities for afterschool and community schools providers in Illinois. Join us for policy updates, trainings on our Quality Standards, STEM and SEL webinars, and MORE!
