Our program providers deliver After School Matters programs in the summer, fall and/or spring program sessions. These dedicated providers – professionals in their elds who serve as mentors to our teens – deliver programs independently either as After School Matters Employee Instructors or as Community-Based Organizations. They support our teens’ success from the beginning to the end of a program, and often beyond.
Select the Rolling Interest tab below to learn how you can apply to become a program provider with After School Matters. If you are a current program provider, Select the Renewal tab to learn how to apply to renew your program for another year.
After School Matters is searching for new Program Providers (Employee Instructors and Community-Based Organizations) interested in offering after-school programs during Fall 2022 and Spring 2023. These program providers will mentor and share their expertise with Chicago high school teens by delivering a wide range of program opportunities across the city in the arts, communications and leadership, STEM, and sports.
After School Matters will continue to respond to inquiries about the Rolling Interest process. Questions can be submitted via email to [email protected].
The Renewal Application for Summer 2022, Fall 2022, Spring 2023 for Program Providers will be released on Monday, November 08, 2021.
*Program Providers must submit 1 Renewal Application per program.*
Similar to last year, Current Providers — defined as those who are providing a program with After School Matters during the current program year (Summer 2021, Fall 2021, Spring 2022) — will submit a Renewal Application focused on deepening their ability to create quality programs and provide effective instruction. Current providers interested in proposing a new program with a different content area or focus may visit our Become a Provider web page and submit a Rolling Interest Form.
Please submit the Employee Instructor (EI) Renewal Interest questionnaire no later than Monday, October 18. Completing the form will inform our HR and Programs team of your intent to return for ASM’s next program year (Summer 2022 through Spring 2023). Next steps will be provided for each Employee Instructor after the Renewal Interest questionnaire is submitted.
NOTE: Only 1 Renewal Application and budget per Employee Instructor program should be submitted in Cityspan.
The Renewal Application will be released in Cityspan. Please access the Renewal Application Guide for assistance with completing your program renewal.
Renewal decisions will be made based upon your application’s quality, completeness, and alignment with After School Matters’ priorities for serving teens.
Please also note that completion of a renewal application in no way guarantees that your program will be renewed and that you/your organization will receive funding from After School Matters. After assessing our funding and renewal options, we will communicate renewal decisions.
***CBO and EI Programs that do not submit a renewal application by the deadline will not be renewed. ALL applications are due on Tuesday, November 23 by 5:00 p.m.***
