The Arizona Afterschool Survey Report, 'Young Minds Keep Learning Even After the School Day Ends', was released by the Arizona Center for Afterschool Excellence, Valley of the Sun United Way and United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona in January 2012. Conducted and compiled in partnership with ASU's Morrison Institute on Public Policy, the Report highlights results of a 2011 survey of 681 afterschool and out-of school time program sites in Maricopa and Pima counties.

October 17, 2011 - Learn About Character Education - Character Counts!

Parents are the number one educator of character, but school teachers and faculty are in the perfect position to reinforce good values and character during the school day. Teaching character improves decision making and behavior, which in turn improves the ethical quality of society.

As the ACEF continues to grow, their hope is to provide character education resources for any and all parents and teachers in need. Help ensure the future of Character Education in Arizona’s schools and make a donation today.
