Afterschool Matters Journal

Afterschool Matters is a national, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to promoting professionalism, scholarship and consciousness in the field of afterschool education. The journal serves those involved in developing and managing programs for youth during the out-of-school time hours and those engaged in research and in shaping youth development policy.

Several grantees of the William Penn Foundation are featured in the Spring 2022 issue of Afterschool Matters. WPF supported this issue to focus on literacy-rich environments and literacy development in out-of-school time (OST).
