Our Objectives

	We've learned a secret. Kids don't resent spending a few more hours at school or learning. They want to feel competent and to fill their lives with new experiences and relationships. They're hungry to discover their talents, and to get a glimpse of who they might become. And they'd much rather be with friends than sitting home alone after school or during summers with a game controller and chips.

TASC's ultimate goal is to establish learning beyond traditional school hours as an essential element of a quality education and a critical service for working families. Every child or young person from every background who needs or could benefit from a high-quality after-school, expanded learning time or summer program, should have access.

Our immediate objectives include:

• Expand the time and ways kids learn to ensure that enrichments such as arts and sports and community service are part of every student’s educational experience
• Direct more resources to strong after-school, summer and expanded learning time programs and systems to reach large numbers of kids
• Ensure parent and community engagement in schools
• Enhance the quality of programs by supporting the people and organizations that keep kids safe and engaged
