Building off the success of the American Rescue Plan funded Building Opportunities in Out-of-School Time (BOOST) grants program, which launched in 2021 and concluded in 2024, Georgia has an opportunity to continue providing expanded and improved learning and supports for all students. With new state funding included in Georgia’s FY26 state budget, the Georgia Statewide Afterschool Network (GSAN) is proud to work with the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) to continue the BOOST grants program. Approximately $11.5 million will be available this year, and annually upon continued state appropriations, through competitive grants to expand access to and improve the quality of summer enrichment opportunities and comprehensive afterschool programming for K-12 youth statewide.
