The Oklahoma Afterschool Network is a coalition of public and private partners working to ensure that every child in this state has access to safe, enriching learning opportunities during their out-of-school time. 

We place a special emphasis on ensuring that children from low-income, underserved or hard-to-reach populations in Oklahoma have access to such opportunities. Through this work, we seek to help Oklahoma’s children—and Oklahoma.

Our Approach

We connect people by providing information and activities that build knowledge and strengthen relationships. We bring people and resources together, harnessing the power of the collective, to increase public awareness about the importance of quality out-of-school programs and to get more people involved in lasting partnerships for such programs and systems.

We create opportunity by informing and advocating for state-level policy that will expand and sustain quality out-of-school programs in Oklahoma. We also partner with grassroots leaders and community-based groups as they advocate for quality programs and supportive policies at the local and regional levels.

We change lives by enhancing the training and support systems that make out-of-school programs effective, meaningful experiences for children and youth of all ages.

Our members

Network members include educators, businesses, community leaders, service providers, funders, child and youth advocates, policymakers, faith-based organizations, parents and youth—groups that nurture children’s potential and keep them out of risky situations.
