OAN is a Convener, Connector, and a Collective Voice!

The Ohio Afterschool Network

OAN is a statewide organization that serves afterschool and summer learning professionals across Ohio. Through our strong national, state, and local partnerships, we are able to efficiently provide our members with evidence-based best practices and valuable resources.

Members of OAN are innovative, forward-thinking afterschool and summer learning professionals with a heart for youth and an eye on the future. They are leaders in the field who believe in providing high-quality programs for youth so that they can grow and become successful adults. 

At OAN, we are dedicated to creating a collaborative environment where afterschool and summer learning providers, partner organizations, and allies can come together to share knowledge, learn from one another, and amplify their collective voice.
