NJ After 3 - evaluation of afterschool program

New Jersey After 3 was established in 2004 by the state’s governor as a private, non-profit corporation to address the growing need for safe, accessible, high quality after-school opportunities for school children in New Jersey. During the 2006-07 school year, New Jersey After 3 served approximately 13,500 children in 66 after-school programs serving 95 schools throughout the state.

A three-year Policy Studies Associates (PSA) evaluation aims to yield information that state and local policymakers and program administrators can use to improve the quality, availability, and effectiveness of New Jersey After 3. The program is the nation’s first statewide public/private partnership that focuses exclusively on support for after-school programs. New Jersey After 3 works with youth-serving nonprofit organizations, community-based organizations, universities, hospitals, foundations, corporations, faith-based organizations, cultural institutions, and others to provide a range of resources for after-school programming.

New Jersey After 3 (NJA3) is a statewide after-school organization modeled after The After-School Corporation (TASC). It is dedicated to expanding and improving after-school opportunities for New Jersey students in grades K-8. TASC has provided extended technical assistance to NJA3 staff in program development, fund development, grant selection, and evaluation. NJA 3 is also a partner in TASC’s Building Healthy Communities initiative, which is funded by the Corporation for National & Community Service’s Learn and Serve America.

Mission:
New Jersey After 3 is a private, non-profit corporation dedicated to expanding and improving afterschool opportunities for New Jersey’s kids. Our vision is that all New Jersey children will have the opportunity to participate in vibrant, high-quality, comprehensive, structured, supervised and enriching afterschool activities. New Jersey After 3 is formed as a public-private partnership to maximize the resources available to afterschool programs for New Jersey kids.
