Policy Pulse

Welcome to the Policy Pulse! Every second Friday at noon ET, our own Senior VP of Policy, Erik Peterson, will recap the latest policy developments, what we know (or don’t know!) about how they may impact afterschool and summer programs, and what may be coming up next. Submit your questions in advance so we know what’s top of mind for you: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
