The Hawaiʻi Afterschool Alliance is a network of individuals and organizations dedicated to supporting
and advancing sustainable, quality afterschool and summer learning programs that result in improved
academic, social, emotional, and physical outcomes for children and families in Hawaiʻi. ​

Vision  
Time spent outside of school is an invaluable part of growing up. We envision a future in which every youth has access to caring adults and inspiring experiences that shape who they become. We desire to see all our island communities offer an array of out-of-school options that are safe, fun, and enriching for the whole child.

Mission
The Hawai'i Afterschool Alliance connects a diverse field of organizations who together advance practices and policies that ensure out-of-school time has meaningful impacts for youth and their families across our island communities.

Strategic Priorities

• Promote the value of out-of-school time through a common system of data and shared outcomes that both illuminate opportunities and demonstrate impact.

• Strengthen out-of-school programs through training, technical assistance, and educational pathways that build a professional workforce.
• Advance local, state, and federal policies that support high quality and well-resourced out-of-school learning opportunities.
