to After School Matters
After School Matters began in 1991 as a summer arts education program for Chicago teens, located in tents on a lot in Chicago’s Loop. It soon expanded from that downtown location to bring the successful program to Chicago neighborhoods, and in 1995 started a partnership with Chicago Public Schools to deliver the programs to Chicago high schools.
As the program expanded to include after-school offerings inareas beyond the arts, it officially became the nonprofit After School Matters in 2000. Working with both independent instructors and community-based organizations, ASM now offers more than 24,000 program opportunities each year, at 338 sites across the city.
Since its founding, teens have earned a financial stipend for taking part in their program, helping to lower potential barriers to participation and teaching them the value of their time. The instructors are professionals in their respective fields, giving the teens hands-on learning and providing important mentorship.
With programs in the arts, communications and leadership, sports, and STEM, there is something for everyone at ASM.
