AfterSchool21 (AS21) is used by more 21CCLC programs than any other after-school program data management software. AS21 supports in-person, hybrid, and virtual programs by streamlining attendance, tracking outcomes, collecting evidence of participation, and simplifying reporting for the 21APR (now with customizable dashboards). Our software is used by fee-based programs to track attendance and manage fees. Programs can track both fee-based and grant-funded programs in a single system with AfterSchool21. All licenses come with training, product updates, and free, live US-based customer service.
