Maryland After School Program

The OCC Program Development Branch administers the Maryland After School Opportunity Fund Program. The General Assembly, recognizing the importance of the after-school hours, passed the Maryland After-School Opportunity Act. The Act created the Maryland After School Opportunity Fund Program to help parents provide after school care and programs for youth throughout the state.

An advisory board oversees the program. Grants were made to Local Management Boards in all 24 jurisdictions and there were approximately 119 programs operating in 2001. The statewide program goal was to serve 27,041 youth. The number of youth actually served was 33,959.
