The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported yesterday that Akron Afterschool, the city's afterschool program, is being used as a case study for other afterschool programs in Ohio because of their ability to raise funding to operate their programs. Their $1.5M program serves 2,000 - many who are low-income children. They have been able to sustain their efforts by working with 60 different organizations as well as the school district and city government. The study is being done in cooperation with Ohio State University and the Ohio Department of Education. State officials are hoping to replicate their model elsewhere in the state.
Once this is published, we'll distribute the link to you so you can see what lessons may apply to your ongoing sustainability efforts.
