Landscape of Out-of-School Time Programs in Rhode Island
The Rhode Island Afterschool Plus Alliance (RIASPA), an education initiative of United Way of Rhode Island, maintains an active map of out-of-school time programs across the state. There are currently 355 afterschool and summer learning programs registered on the map, which includes many different types of out-of-school time programs that take place at schools and in the community. While this map includes many of the afterschool and summer learning programs in the state, there are many programs and organizations that are still missing from the map.

In addition, United Way of Rhode Island’s Hasbro Summer Learning Initiative provides funding for 17 summer learning programs in 12 communities. In Providence, Providence After School Alliance, supports and sustains high-quality afterschool and summer learning programs in most middle schools and several high schools.
