Mission

The After-School Corporation (TASC) is a nonprofit organization established through a challenge grant from the Open Society Institute in 1998. Its mission is to enhance the quality, availability and sustainability of after-school programs in New York and beyond, with the goal of making after-school a public responsibility. TASC funds, monitors, evaluates and supports after-school programs in New York City. It works with local and national partners to build high quality, sustainable after-school systems in New York and across the nation.

TASC is dedicated to improving the learning lives of all kids by transforming the way after-school is funded and delivered. As TASC enters its second decade as a leader in the after-school field, it is working to achieve the goal of after-school for all children by:

• Supporting strong, innovative New York City after-school programs that enrich kids’ lives, ease the stress on working families, and help children develop the skills they’ll need to compete in the global economy


• Working to expand high quality programs on the local, state and national level


• Developing a more educated, highly-skilled after-school workforce to promote superior programming for all kids.
