Welcome to the Missouri AfterSchool Network! The Missouri AfterSchool Network (MASN) was established through a Mott Foundation Grant in 2002. MASN was developed as a statewide joint venture with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to support high-quality public and private after school programs across the state and to be their advocate. Our partnership with DESE and the University of Missouri 4-H Center for Youth Development has provided the resources for MASN to start, strengthen, expand, and improve after school programs while providing the necessary tools, assistance, and models for emergent programs throughout Missouri.
