There are various grant opportunities that benefit Florida aftercare programs.
Although after-school or extended-day programs in Florida vary in terms of what types of activities are offered, these organizations strive to offer programs that are beneficial to youth. From tutoring programs to art enrichment organizations to health initiatives, funding is typically needed to successfully carry out a project. Florida funding sources help support the Sunshine State's aftercare by providing grants.
