  Beyond the Bell: A Toolkit for Creating Effective Afterschool Programs. This publication will introduce you to practical strategies for planning and implementing before-school, afterschool and summer programs.

 Working for Families and Children: Safe and Smart After-School Programs (March 2000), is a report, jointly authored by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice, that highlights research evidence on the potential of after-school programs to increase the safety of children, reduce their risk-taking, and improve learning. Find out more about the evidence of success for afterschool activities, key components of high-quality programs and effective program practices, and how communities are meeting their local needs for afterschool activities.

 21st Century Community Learning Centers: Providing Quality Afterschool Learning Opportunities for America's Families (September 2000), describes how children in over 900 communities across the nation now have a positive alternative to unsupervised, unstructured and uninspiring afternoons through their school's 21st Century Community Learning Center.
