To date, OregonASK Expanded Learning Partnership has documented 1,211 afterschool program sites around the state. In recent years, it has become more and more difficult for families and youth to participate in afterschool programs. Perhaps the simplest solution is to create affordable, accessible afterschool opportunities through public funding or subsidization.
This return on investment study uses existing research and Oregon-specific data to estimate the
returns from a theoretical public investment to subsidize afterschool programs.
