The After-School Corporation is a nonprofit organization which supports comprehensive after-school programs in New York City, with the goal of enhancing the quality, availability and sustainability of programs in New York and the nation.

At TASC, we believe it is essential for all kids to have safe places to go every day where they can discover and develop every part of themselves, while their parents work or go to school. We believe all kids should have the after-school opportunities that are standard in the lives of higher income families.

TASC programs provide kids with academic support and creative ways to reinforce and expand on what they learn during the school day. But we also believe that all kids, as young as kindergarten and as old as high school, should move their bodies, delve into art and music and experience the excitement of mastering new skills and giving back to their communities.

TASC is an intermediary organization, which means we connect schools, community groups and after-school providers with policymakers, and funders. We advocate for after-school programs to be publicly funded, and work relentlessly toward enhancing the effectiveness and benefits of after-school.

In an ever-changing political and educational climate, TASC is a steady, national advocate and resource for these essential institutions in the lives of kids, families and communities.
