    Description


    After School Matters is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization that annually offers after-school and summer programs to nearly 19,000 Chicago high school teens to explore and develop their talents while gaining critical skills that will set them up for success in college and beyond.


    Thirty years later, now known as After School Matters, our program has engaged more than 350,000 Chicago teens and is the nation's largest and most successful provider of after-school and summer programs for high school teens.

    No other organization offers programs to high school students at the scale and quality that we do.


    We offer paid apprenticeships led by professionals in the fields of arts, communications and leadership, sports, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

    Our nationally respected youth development model has been replicated in cities across the country and earned us the City Livability Award from the U.S.

    Conference of Mayors.


    Programs take place at community locations throughout the city, including three ASM buildings: downtown at Gallery 37 Center for the Arts, the Michael and Karyn Lutz Center in Belmont Cragin, and the Pullman community at Gately Park.

    Currently, After School Matters' annual operating budget is approximately $35M and employs approximately 500 staff across the organization.
