The Hawaiʻi Afterschool Alliance is a statewide network advancing sustainable, high-quality afterschool, summer learning, and community schools, ensuring children and families thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

Vision  
A future where communities come together so every young person in Hawaiʻi is supported by caring adults, enriching experiences, and safe opportunities that nurture the whole child.
​

​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.
