The Michigan Afterschool Partnership advocates for equitable systems that support and expand quality out-of-school time experiences for all youth in the state.
Vision
The out-of-school time (OST) sector is a leader in equipping young people and adults across Michigan with the high-quality, youth-driven, and equitable experiences and resources they need to thrive in school, work, and life.
Values
Transformative Justice – We change structural forces and systems that harm some groups while benefiting others.
Belonging – We create environments where all MASP partners and staff feel that they are seen, heard, and valued.
Bold Action – We use data to drive bold, creative and strategic risks to accelerate change.
Authentic Relationships – We build relationships that are honest, transparent, respectful, and trustworthy.
Youth Driven – We center youth in everything that we do.
Agency – We create opportunities for OST practitioners, youth, families and partners to be change makers.
