Every Hour Counts – Return to School Guide

Every Hour Counts is pleased to announce the release of our Return to School Guide, a collection of resources that emerged from the field’s collective pivot to ensure that the transition back to school this fall met the needs of young people, their families, and their communities.

These resources reflect the responsiveness of our network and other national organizations and demonstrate how afterschool systems are primed to support young people and their persistence amidst missed learning and enrichment opportunities.

The guide showcases 45 resources and will to continue to grow as we surface the artifacts our network and national organizations created to help afterschool intermediaries, providers, educators, families, and community leaders ensure that young people are set up to thrive this school year and beyond–in spite of the shared trauma experienced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and escalated racial violence and reckoning.
