The Illinois facilitates three workgroups, the Capacity Building Work Group, the Outcomes Work Group, and the Policy Work Group. These work groups convene to conduct research, discuss strategies, and develop products and tools that help the Partnership achieve its goals. Work groups are open to anyone who is interested. Individuals and organizations involved in the work groups are able to share their experience, represent their communities, and help shape ideas and products generated by the workgroup. If you are interested in participating in a work group, you can:

• Sign up for the workgroup(s) you are interested in. This will add you to our email list for the workgroups you choose, so you will be notified of upcoming meetings and workgroup progress
• Learn when the next meeting will take place
• Review the Work Group Archives for each work group to see past meeting minutes, as well as materials discussed and created by the work groups
• Contact the Illinois After-school Partnership Director for more information
