Opinion: Keep NYC after-school programs affordable, while still paying workers fair wages After-school programming in New York City is in high demand but short on supply. Beyond being a practical solution for working families, these programs deeply enrich young people’s lives, providing them with a space to learn new skills and to explore new interests in areas such as music, theater, language, robotics, athletics, etc. This year we must advocate not only for increased funding but also for better wages for the dedicated after-school providers who make quality, accessible programming possible . After-school programs are an essential support for working parents, and they are also far more than that; they are a lifeline for families striving for a better future. Bridging the gap between the end of the school day and the time parents finish work, ensures both that children are in a safe, supervised environment and also that families don’t have to choose between work and the well-being of their children. After-school programs offer a structured space where students can spend critical time with peers and engage in meaningful activities, receive academic support, and develop crucial social skills.

The New York City Independent Budget Office announced the release of its new 2024 Budget Options Volume. Budget Options are policy ideas that have the potential to create savings or new revenue for the city. Within each option there will be a summary of the initiative, an estimate of its fiscal implications, and arguments for and against the policy idea. IBO publishes this volume on a yearly basis to help spark policy discussions throughout New York City. Budget option ideas stem from a variety of sources including existing IBO research, policy debates around City agency operations, and current or proposed City and State legislation, among other sources. As an independent and nonpartisan entity, IBO does not endorse or recommend any specific policy idea within the 2024 volume. IBO’s 2024 Volume of Budget Options include: city workforce and retirees, community and social services, economy and employment, education, environment, health, housing and buildings, infrastructure, public safety, taxes and other revenue options. |
