This special "America After 3PM" report takes a closer look at the afterschool experiences of children and families living in rural communities and compares these experiences to those of children and families outside of rural communities. This report also serves to examine the ways programs are increasing opportunity in these often-underserved and overlooked communities, and what more can be done to make certain that all children, regardless of geographic location, are given the array of supports they need to achieve their full potential. [This report was made possible by the support of John Deere. For the full report, "'America after 3PM' Special Report: The Growing Importance of Afterschool in Rural Communities," see ED582330.]
