TASC is the fiscal sponsor and a founding partner of the New York State Afterschool Network (NYSAN), a public-private partnership of organizations throughout the state dedicated to increasing the quality and availability of after-school programs. In addition to active participation in network activities, TASC provides leadership to the network by co-chairing the Steering and Policy committees.
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.
