The New York State Network for Youth Success is a brand dedicated to building a youth-serving system that enhances the quality and availability of afterschool and expanded learning programs. These programs support the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of young people outside of the traditional school day. Serving youth from kindergarten through 12th grade, these programs take place in schools, community-based settings, and during weekends, holidays, and summer breaks.

The Network for Youth Success connects partners and stakeholders from the public sector, nonprofit organizations, advocacy groups, and the philanthropic community to develop partnerships, policies, and capacity-building initiatives. They also bridge the gap between practice and policy across various state, regional, and local partners in the afterschool, expanded learning, community schools, and youth development fields. The Network is funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and is the New York State affiliate for the National AfterSchool Association
