Wave 8 Afterschool in the Time of COVID-19 survey
More than two years into the pandemic, the afterschool field continues to rise to meet the needs of children and youth. To keep up the drumbeat of stories from the field that lift up the role of afterschool and summer programs during the pandemic, take Afterschool Alliance’s short survey and help document how your program is faring and the supports your program is providing to the children and families in your community.
All those who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing for the chance to win one of 50 gift cards in the amount of $50.
The survey should take approximately 10 minutes of your time and your responses will be anonymous. The survey will close 11:59 p.m. PT, Sunday, Nov. 20.
Thank you for sharing information about your afterschool program!
Start the survey at https://3to6.co/survey
