School's Out Washington is a statewide organization focused on building community-based systems to improve the quality and availability of afterschool programs for Washington’s school-age children.  

Since 1987, we have served as an intermediary organization in the field of afterschool programming in Washington State.  SOWA provides training to afterschool program staff, advocates with public policy makers, and cultivates leadership at the grassroots and institutional levels for afterschool programs and issues. 

Our ambitious reach is reflected in our mission statement:

School’s Out provides services and guidance for organizations to ensure
all young people have safe places to learn and grow when not in school.
  School’s Out is dedicated to building community systems to support
quality out-of-school time programs for Washington’s 5-18 year olds through training, advocacy and leadership.
