A collaboration between GSAN and GUIDE, Inc., the Georgia Afterschool & Youth Development (ASYD) Initiative is supported by the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) and the Georgia Departments of Education (GaDOE), Public Health (DPH), Early Care and Learning (DECAL), and Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD).  The Georgia ASYD Quality Standards, released in December 2015, are Georgia’s first quality standards for afterschool programming and provide a framework for afterschool providers to evaluate and continuously improve the quality of their programming. The Georgia ASYD Initiative provides training, coaching, and resources to providers across the state to support their quality improvement journey.
