AFTER-SCHOOL POLICY

Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Pennsylvania calls on the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to shut down the "Prime Time for Juvenile Crime" by assuring families access to youth development programs for the after-school hours.

Research and evaluation across the country have proven that quality youth development programs can cut crime immediately and transform the Prime Time for Juvenile Crime (3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.) into hours of constructive activities that teach youngsters the values and skills they need to become good neighbors and responsible adults.

Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Pennsylvania is a member of the Pennsylvania Statewide After-school/Youth Development Network (PSAYDN), which is dedicated to improving access to and the quality of after-school and youth development programs throughout the state.
