National Afterschool Association Names Utah Education Policy Center One of Its Most Influential in Research and Evaluation 2018
The UEPC was recently honored as a National AfterSchool Association's (NAA) Most Influential in Research and Evaluation 2018. The UEPC’s work has led to increased state-level funding for afterschool programs, more informed and effective technical assistance, and improved statewide capacity to ensure that youth and families have access to high-quality afterschool programs throughout the state. This award was the result of the UEPC's ongoing collaborations with the Utah Afterschool Network, Utah State Board of Education, and Utah Department of Workforce Services Office of Childcare.
