Advocate for Out-of-School Time Funding

"Last week, the Michigan House passed a School Aid budget that eliminates dedicated funding for Out-of-School Time (OST) programs under Section 32n....This is not a realignment. This is an elimination." -Michigan Afterschool Partnership

Impact

Here are statistics from the YMCA of Saginaw. These numbers do not include overnight camp at Camp Timbers, which also relies on OST funds. Not only that, but our association represents a fraction of the youth and families across Michigan that will be impacted by the loss of this funding.
