[kids-lib] Oregon Ask Access & Equity Report on Afterschool Opportunity in Oregon

[Greta Bergquist]

Hi library folks working with kids,

The Oregon Ask<https://oregonask.org/> team, which works to support kids out of school in Oregon, recently researched opportunities for afterschool for Oregon kids. They found many Oregon kids cannot access an afterschool program in their area, due to both cost and availability. This is one reason why school age programs can be such a critical component of library services! The attached one pager gives the highlights, but the full report is linked below and may be useful as your libraries work to offer school age programming during afterschool hours and during summer, or as you work to partner with folks already doing afterschool in your communities.

Best,

Greta B

Subject: Access & Equity Report is Here!

Hello OregonASK Partners,
We are excited to share the release of our State of Access and Equity of Afterschool <https://oregonask.files.wordpress.com/2020/01/access-equity-report_final-1.pdf> in Oregon report!

Research shows that afterschool programs help students gain critical academic and leadership skills and address opportunity gaps. The State of Access and Equity of Afterschool in Oregon report found that students from underserved communities are least likely to participate in afterschool because of accessibility, cost, and cultural barriers. And yet, youth from underserved communities also demonstrate the most benefits from afterschool programs. The very youth that face the biggest barriers to accessing afterschool stand to gain the most from it.

We hope you are able to take some time to explore this report <https://oregonask.files.wordpress.com/2020/01/access-equity-report_final-1.pdf> and the supporting data maps that demonstrate clear gaps in access across Oregon.
