About DALLAS AFTERSCHOOL

Dallas Afterschool is a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) intermediary (founded in 2007) that supports and strengthens afterschool and summer programs across Dallas County. It provides program quality assessments, coaching, training, curriculum, technical assistance, workforce development services, and city- and state-level policy advocacy. The organization combines direct program supports (its PQI and ECOST workforce initiatives) with research and tools — including an Afterschool Locator and a 2025 Policy Brief — to identify neighborhoods with high need and to mobilize public and private investment. Dallas Afterschool prioritizes access and equity, targeting increases in free and low-cost programming for children in high-poverty neighborhoods.
