Abstract	Prior to the pandemic, close to 8 million young people in kindergarten through 12th grade were in afterschool programs where they had the opportunity to engage in academically enriching activities, take part in physical activities, build friendships, gain confidence, learn how to make responsible decisions, and seek advice and support from caring adults and mentors. At the time of the release of this brief, many students have been participating in remote or hybrid school schedules for a full year and all students stand to benefit from additional enrichment and learning opportunities that afterschool and summer programs afford. Through the pandemic, afterschool programs have been an instrumental partner for schools and families--programs remained connected to their students, complemented school-day lessons, and provided essential supports for families. As the country now looks to reopening and recovery, afterschool and summer programs will continue to be a valuable resource. This brief includes a small sampling of evaluations--including randomized and quasi-experimental studies--that demonstrate the evidence of the positive impact programs have on academics, social and emotional skills and competencies, and overall well-being to help students re-engage in learning and emerge from the pandemic strong, resilient, and hopeful.
