Ontario’s After School Program
Find a program near you and learn about safe and supervised activities for students during the school year.
Overview
Ontario’s After School Program (ASP) helps kids be active and healthy.
After school programs are run by municipalities, not-for-profit organizations and First Nations with guidelines provided by the ministry. Organizations make their own decisions in terms of:
- program activities
- identifying participants
- hiring staff
ASP was launched in 2009 and it now benefits more than 13,000 children and youth in kindergarten to Grade 12.
The program provides safe, supervised activities for students in more than 80 communities in Ontario, including 11 First Nations.
Goals and activities
After school programs focus on physical activity and provide a healthy snack.
Programs may also include other activities like:
- healthy eating and nutrition education (for example, label reading, snack and meal preparation, local food produce choices)
- wellness and personal health education (such as bullying and violence prevention, tobacco and substance abuse prevention, building self-esteem)
- local needs (such as academic assistance, arts and cultural activities, activities promoting equity, diversity and inclusion)
Physical activity
The program gets students moving with at least 60 minutes a day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
This includes participation in structured activities like basketball, hip-hop dancing or soccer, or simply through unstructured play time.
Healthy eating
Participants are given a healthy snack that includes:
- one vegetable or fruit
- one protein or whole grain food
Program funding
The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport provides funding to non-profit organizations to run after school programs.
We invited non-profit organizations with a sport and recreation mandate to submit funding proposals.
We selected the organizations through a consultation process. The decisions were made along with community stakeholders, municipalities, other ministries and United Way Chapters.
Eligibility
To find out if your child is eligible to participate at an Ontario’s After School Program site, contact the organizations providing programming within your community.
Individual organizations can provide specific information about site locations, eligibility and requirements of their program.
