The Georgia Afterschool Investment Council is a statewide network organization comprised of more than 70 coalition partners from the non-profit, public and private sectors.

The Council consists of a merger that took place in 2003 between two important groups working on outcomes for youth in Georgia: the Comprehensive Youth Development System (CYDS) and the emerging Afterschool Network.  They formed the predecessor group called the Georgia Partnership for Youth Investment (GPYI) which has its roots in Georgia's regional and county infrastructures.

Because of the increasing needs for positive, enriching opportunities when kids are not in school and demands on Georgia’s working families, out-of-school time is the cornerstone of the Council's work.
