| Abstract: | Throughout the nation, afterschool programs serve as a place where middle school youth explore new areas of interest, find their passions, connect with their peers, and develop skills, such as leadership, teamwork, and communication, which will help them in the transition to high school. This brief provides findings from Afterschool Alliance's fifth edition of "America After 3PM," a national household survey of parents that provides insights about children and families between the hours of 3 and 6 p.m. The survey finds that afterschool programs continue to be in demand for families with a middle school student, as parent satisfaction with their middle schoolers' afterschool program reaches an all-time high. However, more middle school students are being left behind as parents report facing challenges to enrollment, including the affordability, accessibility, and availability of programs. |
