REVIEW:
Afterschool.gov is a site well worth the time it takes to look it over. One of the most important resources featured is a searchable database of federal funding sources for after-school programs. Don't stop there, though; this site has plenty more! Be sure to check out the Building Strong Programs section for some inspiring community success stories and the Publications and Clearinghouses section for a list of links to more federal information. The site also features special sections with information and resources on individual issues important to building a good program, such as healthful snacks, safe environments, enrichment activities, and substance-abuse prevention.
