New Jersey After 3 is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding and improving afterschool opportunities for our kids. Our vision is for all New Jersey children to have easy access to high quality, comprehensive, structured, supervised, and enriching afterschool activities.

New Jersey After 3's nonprofit program partners implement a specific, evidence-based program model. A recent, independent evaluation conducted by Policy Studies Associates shows that students who participated in New Jersey After 3 programs for two years or more achieved statistically significant gains in language arts skills and demonstrated improvements in study skills, math skills and computer skills. These results are consistent with national studies that show high-quality afterschool programs improve student achievement and keep students on-track towards high school graduation.

A recent study conducted by The Wallace Foundation shows that New Jersey After 3 spends less than one-half the average cost of high-quality programs throughout the nation.
