  • The network is planning at least a dozen locations of events for a summer learning/day of action, focusing on nutrition/activity and reading.

  • The Tennessee Afterschool Network worked with their White-Riley-Peterson Fellow on a mapping survey to assess availability of services and an analysis of policy agendas from across the state to help identify gaps and opportunities.
