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

Vision  
We envision a future where every youth has access to positive role models, engaging activities, and safe, enjoyable opportunities for growth.
​

​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.

We align and energize a wide range of organizations to advance practices and policies that ensure meaningful impacts for youth and their families across our islands.​
