The Learn24 network is the Bowser Administration’s hub for all afterschool and summer program opportunities available for school-aged youth. Mayor Bowser launched the Learn24 network in 2017, to foster better coordination between public agencies, schools, service providers, funders, and businesses providing out-of-school-time (OST) programming, replacing a fragmented patchwork of service providers. The Learn24 network promotes access to high-quality OST opportunities available for District families, bringing DC one step closer to Mayor Bowser’s vision of Afterschool for All, through Universal Access to OST.
The Learn24 network is comprised of District agencies offering and supporting out-of-school-time programs and/or funding. Learn more about the District agencies involved:

The Learn24 network provides grants to community-based and nonprofit organizations that provide out-of-school time programs and/or summer programs. These network partners offer a wide range of programs, including academics, civic engagement, dance, entrepreneurship, sports, etc. Out-of-school time programs who are recipients of grants from a Learn24 agency are included in the Learn24 network.
