What is the origin of After3?

The City of Boise was one of eight cities selected to participate in the second phase of the City Leaders Engaged in Afterschool Reform (CLEAR) project, gaining access to national resources and expertise aimed at improving and expanding out-of-school programs.

Goal: Create a sustainable, city-wide system that ensures every youth in Boise has access to affordable, quality, and engaging out-of-school programs.
