Out-of-school time programs can play an important role in encouraging physical activity and good dietary habits. Participation in these programs has been associated with positive health outcomes, including reduced obesity.
Working families and businesses also derive benefits from out-of school time programs that ensure that youth have a safe place to go while parents are at work. Parents concerned about their children’s afterschool care miss an average of eight days of work per year, and this decreased worker productivity costs businesses up to $300 billion annually.
