Afterschool.gov
The Afterschool.gov Web
site is designed for anyone who cares about
kids (6 to 18)—providers, parents,
kids, and teens. You can find information
to help you understand the issues that kids
and teens face. You can also find out how
to fund, start, and operate an after-school
program. You don't even need to know which
federal agency has the information you need;
Afterschool.gov searches the sites for the
information requested most often and puts
it into easy-to-use categories. Research
studies, news, and publications are added
as they are released.
Kids and teens can find many safe, fun,
and enriching government Web sites that let
them explore the wealth of information federal
government agencies have to offer. Whether
they are looking for help with their homework;
reinforcing a skill they learned in school;
researching a school term paper; looking
for a job, college, or volunteer opportunities;
researching a topic just because it is interesting;
or just want to surf, the Kids and Teens
links on Afterschool.gov are waiting for
them.
Parents can find information about a wide
range of government resources on topics from
child and adolescent development to how to
help with homework to accommodations at federal
parks.
CSREES is the USDA representative on the
Afterschool.gov design team and steering
committee. The committees meet regularly
to collect new information, ensure information
is current, and design the overall framework
for the Web site.
