    LearningWorks AfterSchool serves academically low-performing students in grades Pre-K through 5th in 11 elementary schools in Southern Maine.

Eligible students are identified collaboratively by LearningWorks Afterschool Directors, Site Coordinators, and school staff. LearningWorks Afterschool is funded primarily through 21st Century Community Learning Center grants, and is offered in partnership with local school departments.
