The After-School Corporation is a nonprofit organization based in New York City. We were founded in 1998 through a challenge grant from the Open Society Institute. We are governed by an elected Board of Directors.
Our founder and president, Lucy N. Friedman, is a member of the Board of Directors. She is also a founding board member of the Afterschool Alliance, the nation's leading after-school advocacy organization, and the Coalition for Science Afterschool.
We have numerous public and private partners across the state and nation who collaborate with us to change public policy, advocate for fair funding and build systems that help all young people have access to the experiences beyond the school day all families want for their kids. In New York City, we collaborate with the Department of Youth and Community Development and the Department of Education to expand and strengthen the nation's largest municipally-funded after-school system.
The Center for After-School Excellence at TASC is an initiative dedicated to building the after-school workforce and a research-based professional development system that supports its needs. The Center's research staff evaluates hundreds of after-school programs. TASC is the founding partner and fiscal agent of The Collaborative for Building After-School Systems.
