About Resource Portal Afterschool Network

Resource Portal Afterschool Network is an independent, source-cited resource on the U.S. after-school and K-12 landscape. We bring together, in one place: the schools in every community, the after-school programs that serve them, the federal and state funding behind those programs, and the gap between how many families want after-school care and how many can get it.

Our goal is simple — make this information easy to find and trustworthy. Every figure on the site comes from a public record (federal and state education agencies, the U.S. Census, and the Afterschool Alliance), and every page cites its source. We never publish estimated, mocked, or placeholder numbers; where data isn't available yet, we say so.

The data is refreshed on a regular cadence, with daily ingestion of new after-school program and funding records and annual updates of federal school datasets.

We also help families who can't find an open program: where after-school access falls short, we point to free at-home enrichment from Resource Portal AI.
