ExpandED Schools believes that New York City’s youth deserve equitable access to high quality programs that extend learning beyond the school day into afternoons filled with enrichments, new opportunities, personal development and role models. That is why we proudly join the 20th Annual Lights On Afterschool celebrations taking place throughout the country.

ExpandED Schools works with community partners to provide high quality financial literacy education to middle school students through our Market Makers entrepreneurship initiative. Students participating in Market Makers clubs learn important lessons about budgeting, borrowing, and marketing as they design and execute their own business.

The Every Hour Counts racial equity training filled a gap of unknowns that was only a feeling until they gave language and history to ‘why’ I stay the course. –Fahren Johnson, Senior Program Officer, Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, Tacoma, WA

The City's largest network of STEM educators united this year to transform STEM education of New York City's children. Through five working groups and quarterly citywide convenings, network members developed common purpose on key themes in order to fuel collective efforts. Please join the Network if you are interested in helping to develop and implement these key themes for STEM education.
