Abstract	Findings from "America After 3PM" document the role that afterschool programs play in supporting families living in high-poverty areas by answering questions about what afterschool program participation looks like, what the demand for afterschool programs is, what is preventing parents from taking advantage of and children from participating in afterschool programs, and what the afterschool program experience is like for families in communities of concentrated poverty. Taken collectively, the findings help to establish the unmistakable value of afterschool programs as one strategy to address the inequalities prevalent in communities of concentrated poverty. At the same time, these findings underscore the number of children living in communities of concentrated poverty who are missing out on taking part in an afterschool program and the number of benefits and supports being missed by children who are unable to take part in an afterschool program. The report includes recommendations to bring more quality afterschool programs to children and families living in communities of concentrated poverty and to help bring opportunity back into balance in these high-poverty areas.
