The Wallace Foundation is supporting Project My Time with a grant of $8 million. Washington D.C. is one of five cities (Boston, Chicago, New York and Providence are also grantees) selected to participate in Wallace’s Out-of-School Learning Initiative, which seeks to improve citywide systems for providing high-quality out-of-school time, especially for those children who need it most, and build knowledge about effective practices for doing so.

Karene C. Brodie, director of the Office of Community Partnerships in the Office of the Superintendent for D.C. Public Schools is quoted in the story: “What I’m most excited about with Project My Time is the fact that they are aligning quality out-of-school time programs with the priorities of the school district in a way that makes sense to education and holistic child development.”
