Office of Extended Learning Opportunities

“It’s relationships, not programs, that change children. A great program simply creates the environment for healthy relationships to form between adults and children. Young people thrive when adults care about them on a one-to-one level, and when they also have a sense of belonging to a caring community.”---Bill Milliken, Founder and Vice Chairman of Communities in Schools and author of Tough Love and The Last Dropout.

MISSION
The mission of the Office of Extended Learning Opportunities (OELO) is to ensure that there is a diverse offering of high quality programs available to Chicago Public School students that serve to enrich the development of the whole child outside of the regular school day. The OELO, formerly the Office of After School and Community School Programs, was established in September 2001 and currently operates on a budget of over $80 million, serving almost 200,000 students in 548 elementary and high schools. External grants and partnerships also provide an additional $15 million in cash and in-kind resources.

OASCSP supports six  after school initiatives:

  • After-School All-Stars Chicago

  • After School Counts

  • After School Matters

  • Community Schools Initiative

  • Supplemental Educational Services

  • Tuition-Based After School

GOAL
To provide year-round programming outside of the regular school day that operates three to four hours a day, five to six days per week, 39 to 47 weeks per year.
