In Episode 8 of the Afterschool.org Podcast, we examine the funding landscape for after-school programs, especially those integrating Career Technical Education (CTE). Federal acts like Perkins V, ESSA, and ESSER have provided crucial support, but temporary funding and complex grant processes create challenges for program sustainability. As ESSER funds expire in 2024, many programs face budget cuts, leaving families and communities at risk of losing essential services. We discuss the impact of funding instability, the role of public-private partnerships, and advocacy efforts to secure lasting support for these programs. Join us as we explore the future of afterschool funding and its impact on student success, workforce development, and family stability.
