I would just add that addressing low income as a source of disadvantage is certainly important, but more is needed to close the gap in educational outcomes. Programs for young people and access to recreation, arts, and leadership opportunities are things that enrich communities and make sure that kids have all they need to succeed. After-school programs are important, and summer camps help reduce learning loss during the summer. They give young people the support they need, so that they can at least achieve at the same level as their peers or they're not falling behind. After-school programs are recognized for their positive impact on emotional and physical health and education. That's well documented. Boys and Girls Clubs has partnered with Rogers Communications to offer Rogers Raising the Grade, which is a program that helps young people get through high school, identify their career objectives, and figure out how to apply for post-secondary education—everything that Achan was talking about.
I think that access to after-school programs is an important component of a national poverty reduction strategy, and we're hoping to see some thought given to how we can support access to such programs in impoverished communities.
Thank you.
