High-quality expanded learning opportunities (ELOs)--including after-school, before-school, summer, and expanded day, week, and year programs--done in partnership with community-based organizations have the potential to improve learning for Latino students. A growing body of research shows that a variety of approaches during summer and before and after the traditional school day can bolster young people's school engagement and improve their chances of graduating and achieving success in college and careers. In addition, various local community-based programs have seen their participants beat the odds, proving that with the right interventions and resources, any child can achieve. High-quality ELO programs partner with community organizations, a strategy that is particularly important when serving ELL students. Given the potential impacts of expanded learning policies and practices on Latino students and their communities, the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) has put together this issue brief to examine recent research on ELOs, the policy landscape affecting these programs, and recommendations for policymakers and program providers.
