After School Matters

After School Matters is a non-profit organization that offers Chicago high school teens innovative out-of-school activities through science37, sports37, tech37, words37 and the nationally recognized gallery37 programs.

We provide these programs through a network of public and private partnerships that include Chicago Public Schools, the Chicago Park District, the Chicago Public Library, and community organizations throughout the city. We have been recognized nationally for our innovative approach to coordinating city resources and delivering unique and diverse programs. Our hands-on, project-based programs expose teens to rewarding careers and help them develop marketable job skills.
