NYSAN defines "after-school" broadly to include all programs that provide support for young people’s intellectual, social, emotional and physical development outside the traditional school day, including programs that take place in schools and in community-based settings and that occur both before and after school, and during weekends, holidays and summer breaks.

NYSAN facilitates connections among a broad range of state, regional and local partners representing after-school program providers, youth, parents, public agencies, advocates, funders, evaluators, technical assistance and training providers, policymakers, businesses, researchers and community leaders.
