AFTERSCHOOL FOR ALL: PROJECT 2010 CONTINUES TO GAIN SUPPORT
The
Afterschool Alliance's Afterschool for All: Project 2010, a sign-on
campaign designed to demonstrate the diverse support for afterschool,
is growing by leaps and bounds. Project 2010 was launched in May 2004
with 250 individual and organizational partners. There are currently
more than 2,900 Project 2010 partners representing every state.
Among
the Project 2010 partners are prominent leaders such as: governors,
mayors, police chiefs, and prosecutors; concerned citizens from
communities nationwide; educators, colleges, and universities; and
organizations representing a broad array of sectors, including AARP,
the Children's Defense Fund, Citigroup Inc., IBM, the NAACP, the
National Council of La Raza, the National PTA, the AFL-CIO, Time
Warner, the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL, The US Conference of Mayors, and
YMCA of the USA.
In America today, 14.3 million children are alone and unsupervised in the hours after school. Afterschool
for All: Project 2010 brings together individuals and organizations
from across the nation who support the vision that all children and
youth deserve access to quality, affordable afterschool programs by the
year 2010.
The Alliance hopes that this list will convey the
broad and diverse support that exists for access to afterschool for all
children. Sign on to Project 2010, and urge colleagues to join. Visit
