Bridging Talent And Need:
How Partnerships between Higher Education and Afterschool Programs Can Benefit Students
Afterschool programs have a powerful impact on students’ social skills, college access, and career readiness. However, meeting the growing demand requires a consistent source of people-power to serve as dedicated mentors and staff.
This brief, Bridging Talent And Need: How Partnerships between Higher Education and Afterschool Programs Can Benefit Students and Communities, explores a vital strategy to address this need. It examines how intentional partnerships between institutions of higher education and out-of-school time programs can create pipelines of college student talent. This approach not only provides essential guidance for youth and staffing for programs, but also deepens community engagement and offers valuable work-based learning experiences for college students.
