High School Students Need Afterschool Programs

There is over $4.8 billion for afterschool and summer programs in California from state and federal funds. Less than 2% of that funding goes to high school students, even though research shows that older youth benefit greatly from these programs, improving students' mental health, academic performance, safety, and well-being. This video was produced, filmed, and edited by young people from the David's Harp Foundation, a youth arts mentorship program in San Diego.
