Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
Ignite Afterschool (the Organization) is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 with a mission to unite Minnesota's afterschool community and strengthen afterschool programs through partnership, education, and advocacy. The purpose of the organization is to forge partnerships that create shared efforts across the afterschool field that close access gaps to afterschool and ensure professional development, resources and trainings across the state to improve program quality.
Activities or mission (Part I)
To unite Minnesota's afterschool community and strengthen afterschool programs through partnership, education and advocacy.
-
In 2025, Ignite Afterschool advanced its mission to unite Minnesota's afterschool community and strengthen afterschool programs through partnership, education, and advocacy. Through its partnership work, Ignite played a leadership role in statewide STEM and youth development initiatives. Ignite's Executive Director served as Co-Chair of the Minnesota STEM Ecosystem Advisory Council, which received $1.5 million in legislative support to advance the development of statewide and regional STEM hubs connecting schools, out-of-school-time programs, higher education, and industry partners. Ignite also partnered with the University of California, Irvine to support research on parents' perceptions of STEM and their impact on youth access to STEM learning opportunities. Through participation in the national With Youth for Youth cohort, Ignite expanded youth leadership opportunities by engaging youth fellows in organizational projects and supporting the youth-led Cannabis Awareness and Education Council (CAEC). CAEC engaged approximately 11 youth leaders, conducted listening sessions with more than 30 young people, developed educational resources on cannabis use and brain development, and completed three peer-to-peer cannabis education lessons. Ignite also participated in regional and statewide partnerships focused on expanding afterschool opportunities and improving youth access to out-of-school-time programs. In its Quality, Professional Development, and Continuous Improvement program area, Ignite continued implementation of the M3 Continuous Program Improvement Process, supporting afterschool programs in strengthening program quality through ongoing planning, assessment, and improvement. In 2025, Ignite completed an evaluation of the M3 process, resulting in recommendations that informed a redesign of facilitator training. Ignite engaged more than 115 participants in M3 kickoff sessions, facilitated 26 M3 Huddles, and convened four Communities of Practice for licensed facilitators. Through its Professional Development Exchange, Ignite delivered trainings aligned with evidence-based effective practices and launched a STEM Career-Connected Learning Community of Practice in partnership with STEM Next. Through its i-SAC accreditation program, Ignite accredited 28 school-age care sites and launched a new accreditation cycle with nine participating sites. Ignite also provided nonprofit leadership development opportunities for 15 high school students through its Summer Young Nonprofit Leaders Club. Through its advocacy and issue education efforts, Ignite convened statewide stakeholders to address policy and funding issues affecting afterschool and expanded learning programs. The organization facilitated discussions regarding reimbursement rates impacting program access, supported 21st Century Community Learning Center grantees during uncertainty surrounding federal funding, and raised public awareness about the value of afterschool programs through Lights On Afterschool activities, social media outreach, site-based celebrations, and educational videos highlighting the impact of afterschool funding and programming across Minnesota communities.
