Governor Peter Shumlin explains how out of school time learning impacted him personally and voices his support for afterschool programs at the Vermont Afterschool Legislative Day, February 2011.

“The work that you do every day- making sure that kids like me have a place to go, have a program to plug into, have an opportunity to succeed, isn’t just an academic exercise for me. The reason that I am going to fight so hard as your governor to ensure that every child has quality afterschool programs is because had I not, I would not be here today.” Governor Shumlin
