Current Offerings
Minnesota Afterschool Advance works with service providers across the state to offer more accessible afterschool activities. Offerings typically include driver’s education, fine arts, academic enrichment, and performing arts.
At this time, we are partnering with a handful of select organizations and providers across the state. We hope to add additional providers in the future.
Though this list includes providers that are certified partners, families are still responsible for reaching out to providers to discuss details regarding enrollment, payment schedules, and any other details regarding the program. MAA does not guarantee that these programs have space in their activities for your child.

Families have two options in order to participate in activities at any of these organizations using an advance from MAA.
You can apply for an advance with MAA first, in order to get the process started, and then reach out to the organization to confirm your enrollment options once approved.
You can reach out to the organization above and determine if there is space in eligible activities for your child and then apply for an advance with MAA. If you choose this option, you will need to be sure to complete an application and receive approval prior to actually enrolling and requesting payment for services at the organization.
If you need assistance completing any of these steps, please reach out to a navigator for assistance.
