The NC 4-H School-Age Care Program
Since 1989 the North Carolina 4-H Youth Development Department at North Carolina State University has supported 4-H agents and other agencies in developing afterschool programs for families and children. The primary objectives of the NC 4-H School-Age Care Program are to increase the availability of afterschool programs and improve the quality of existing afterschool programs.

Afterschool Alliance
The Alliance was formed on the belief that afterschool programs are critical to children and families today, and that the need for programs is not adequately addressed. As many as 15 million children have no place to go after the school bell rings. These children are at significant risk of getting poor grades, being victims of crime, or participating in anti-social behaviors that have grave consequences and costs to society. They are also missing significant opportunities to learn and grow.
