Afterschool Programs
Technical Assistance

Provided by the Missouri Afterschool Resource Center (MOARC)

 

How did the Afterschool Resource Center begin?

• The Missouri AfterSchool Network (MASN) was formed in an effort to bring public and private funds together so that they could be better utilized and reach more children and youth who are in need of high quality afterschool experiences.  The network was able to use a portion of the public and private dollars to create the Missouri Afterschool Resource Center.  For more information on the Missouri AfterSchool Network (MASN), visit www.moasn.org.

 

Where is the Afterschool Resource Center?

• The center doesn't have one particular location.  There is one project coordinator and at least six Afterschool Regional Educators (AREs) all working together.  The AREs have each been assigned to one of the six regions in the state.

 

How do I find my ARE?

• You can find your ARE and contact information below.  Simply locate your county on the map and match the region location to the list of names below the map.

 

What is the purpose of the AREs?

• The Afterschool Resource Center serves all DESE Afterschool grantees as a first priority but they are available to be of assistance to any and all Afterschool programs in Missouri.

• AREs will work directly with Afterschool grantees to aid them in meeting all their requirements of their Afterschool grant, as well as any other technical assistance and/or training needed for their Afterschool program.  The consultants are there to be of service to you, your staff and your program.  They will NOT be there to police or monitor programs.  Consider them a set of extra hands and eyes that can help find traiing, ideas, activities, creative solutions and strategies to challenges that your program may be faced with.
