The Norwalk Education Foundation is an active member of the Norwalk AfterSchool Alliance, a 50-member group working on issues of quantity and quality of out-of-school time opportunities in Norwalk.
Norwalk ASA thinks systemically about sustainability, provides centralized training and looks for opportunities to share resources across programs.
Number of children who benefit: Over 2,000
Evaluation: Norwalk ASA tracks the number of members who renew membership and attendance at meetings.
In addition, Norwalk ASA distributes standard program evaluations to its members so they can do their own internal evaluation and improvement.
