After school programs help students achieve better health, higher grades, and more motivation. I told you. But don’t take my word for it read the article from a Harvard publication.
Does Participation in After School
Programs Make a Difference?
The short answer is yes. (A longer answer follows in the section

well as large-scale, rigorously conducted syntheses looking
across many research and evaluation studies, confirms that
children and youth who participate in after school programs
can reap a host of positive benefits in a number of interrelated
outcome areas—academic, social/emotional, prevention,
and health and wellness. Highlights from seminal studies are
arrayed below under key outcome domains that researchers
have examined.
