The GTECH After School Advantage Program is a national community investment program, which gives non-profit community agencies and public schools with state-of-the-art computer labs. These centers are targeted towards inner-city children aged five to 15 with a meaningful, safe and fun environment after school hours.

It is estimated that 115 After School Advantage Programs will be established. Eligible applicants include a non-profit community agency or public school, have an existing after-school program in need of a computer lab, serve disadvantaged youth and have staffing and monetary support in place to sustain the lab.

Almost all of the awarded grants are for in-school music classes, in which the students make music, after school music programs that are not run by the school, and music therapy programs, in which the participants make the music.
Youth Service America plans to implement a service-learning program in twenty-five middle schools in ten states to strengthen students' science, technology, and math skills. The program will focus on creating a framework for primarily disadvantaged students to work in a semester-of-service model, where each month is devoted to a different aspect of planning and executing a service project in their community in connection to academic standards. Grantees will engage up to 75 six through eighth-graders in a semester-long service-learning program. With a focus on environmental concerns, STEMester of Service’s goals include addressing community problems, encouraging students to explore STEM careers, and preventing early dropout.
