Description:
From 2012 to 2017, FourPoint Education Partners (formerly Cross & Joftus) served on the technical assistance team for The Wallace Foundation's Afterschool System Building Initiative (ASB), which supported 14 cities to strengthen their afterschool systems. Through this role and work in other communities, we began to see several distinct types of governance structures emerging in afterschool systems. To better understand and articulate these types, we: - Searched for any literature available on the topic - Interviewed leaders from 15 cities with formal afterschool systems: - 12 in the ASB initiative: Baltimore, Boston, Denver, Fort Worth, Grand Rapids, Jacksonville, Louisville, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia, Providence, and Saint Paul - 3 Additional cities: Oakland, Omaha and Palm Beach County - Interviewed other afterschool system field leaders - Drew from our own experiences related to designing and refreshing governance systems (author abstract)
