Abstract	While data for the 2020 edition of America After 3PM were collected pre-pandemic, to accompany the data and determine how the pandemic has affected families' needs during the hours after school, the Afterschool Alliance commissioned a nationally representative follow-up survey of parents in October 2020. The follow-up survey found that afterschool programs remain a critical component of the infrastructure needed to support families through the pandemic. Latinx parents were more likely than parents overall to report stress about providing learning support while their child's school is operating virtually (61 percent vs. 54 percent), and 3 in 4 Latinx parents say that the experience of coronavirus has made them appreciate teachers and afterschool program providers more than ever. The unmet demand for afterschool programs among Latinx children remains high. For every Latinx child in an afterschool program, 3 more are waiting to get in. There are now more than 6.5 million Latinx children who would likely participate in a program (55 percent). The unmet demand for afterschool programs among Hispanic children is higher than the national average (55 percent vs. 50 percent). Latinx parents largely have a positive view of afterschool programs' social and emotional and academic benefits that mirror parents' responses overall, agreeing that programs keep kids safe (74 percent); provide opportunities to engage with peers and reduce unproductive screen time (85 percent); and help children gain interest and skills related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) (80 percent). Latinx parents also view afterschool programs as a positive influence on children, agreeing that programs help young people build life skills (83 percent), allow children to build positive relationships with caring adults and mentors (78 percent), and reduce the likelihood that young people will engage in risky behaviors, such as drug use (76 percent).
