    NNeeww EEnnggllaanndd AAfftteerr 33PPMM Afterschool Alliance 1616 H Street, NW, Suite 820 Washington, DC 20006 www.afterschoolalliance.org Acknowledgements The Afterschool Alliance would like to thank the Nellie Mae Education Foundation for their generous support of this report and for supporting afterschool across the New England Region. We would also like to thank the Statewide Afterschool Networks – Connecticut Afterschool Network, Maine Afterschool Network, Massachusetts Afterschool Partnership, Plus Time New Hampshire, Rhode Island After School Plus Alliance, and Vermont Out-of-School Time – for their contributions to the report and for the important work that they are doing to help afterschool programs thrive in each of the New England states. Executive Summary Some 20 percent of children in New England have no safe, supervised activities after the school day ends each afternoon. These children are in self-care, missing out on opportunities to learn and explore new interests, and at risk for any number of dangerous behaviors including substance abuse, crime and teen pregnancy. Policy makers, parents and many other New Englanders recognize that children, families and communities benefit from quality afterschool programs. They know that an unsupervised child is a child at risk, and they want all the region’s children to have a safe place to go that offers homework help, engaging activities and much more each afternoon. New England is fortunate to have many strong afterschool programs that keep children safe, inspire them to learn and help working families. Some are groundbreaking models that will contribute to the design and structure of afterschool programs serving children and youth nationwide.

The Congressional Historic Preservation Caucus: An Advocacy Tool for the 21st Century Abstract Historic Preservation depends a great deal on national, state, and local legislative action from both a regulatory and funding perspective. To advocate successfully on behalf of a national historic preservation policy agenda, a comprehensive understanding of the nuances of the federal legislative process along with a strong insight into the internal and external dynamics feeding into that process are vital. At the federal level, many legislators choose to organize into partisan, bipartisan or bicameral groups, commonly called Congressional Member Organizations (CMOs) or caucuses, with the intent to pursue common legislative objectives, coordinate actions and affect policy within their legislative body. The Congressional Historic Preservation Caucus (CHPC) is such a group. The mission of this particular bipartisan caucus, formed at the beginning of the 108th Congress (2003-2004) within the U.S.
