The Kentucky Out-of-School Alliance is able to do our important work thanks to strong relationships with local and national organizations.
We can’t do this work alone—advancing out-of-school time across Kentucky takes strong, committed partnerships. Thank you to our partners who power this mission and help create greater opportunities for youth, families, and communities across the Commonwealth.
Our Partners
Partners For Change
Partners For Change collaborates closely with school districts to enhance and expand access to high-quality programming in out-of-school time, mentoring, and family engagement across school districts in Northern Kentucky. Rather than replacing existing efforts, Partners For Change serves as a trusted partner that brings additional capacity, expertise, and resources to the table.
Together with school staff and district leadership, Partners For Change co-creates programming that aligns with district goals while addressing the unique needs of each school community. This partnership ensures students and families receive well-rounded support that promotes academic success, social-emotional growth, and family stability and ultimately allows us to approach education growth as a holistic region.

The 50 State Afterschool Network
The 50 State Afterschool Network is an ecosystem of practitioners, researchers, technical assistance providers and afterschool champions, working to expand the quality, scope, and impact of learning experiences for young people across the country. Since 2002, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation has provided financial support and technical assistance to the statewide afterschool networks. The return on investment is clear: networks are impactful in coordinating with partners to increase access to afterschool and summer learning programs and improve the quality, scope, and impact of learning experiences for young people.
