    The Afterschool Alliance's new report, "Afterschool Programs: Inspiring Students with a Connected Learning Approach," discusses the role afterschool programs play in the ecology of learning, where programs can help bridge the divides that exist in terms of access to additional learning opportunities, access to caring mentors, and access to resources and peer networks that can excite young people about the acquisition of knowledge. The report also dives into connected learning, exploring this educational approach that is the intentional linkage of ones' interests, peer groups and academics, and how it capitalizes on the benefits of all three areas to create a learning experience that is both powerful and enduring.
