Bringing together schools, organizations, parents and policymakers, KAAN advocates for high-quality out-of-school experiences and learning opportunities. We provide resources and training to local providers, ensuring impactful programing that caters to diverse needs.
Afterschool providers offer safe, dependable and engaging programming to help children and youth learn and grow after school hours. With over 100 members across 30 organizations, KAAN meets monthly to align strategies, improve program engagement and effectiveness, increase capacity, advocate and compile data.
As part of the broader Tennessee Afterschool Network (TAN), we are strengthened by state-wide convenings, financial support and advocacy. TAN creates opportunities for connecting with nine other Tennessee coalitions as well as the larger National Afterschool Alliance network.
