TASC is a nonprofit organization, based in New York City, that helps urban schools give kids more time, ways and opportunities to learn so that every student can succeed. It works to shape public policy and funding to sustain expanded learning opportunities across the country.

TASC developed and is implementing ExpandED Schools in New York, New Orleans and Baltimore. Based on school-and-community partnerships and proven practices, they offer a promising framework for educators and communities to reinvent public schools, especially those that are struggling to fully deliver on the promise of public education. Traditional schools—in session for roughly six hours a day, 180 days a year—were designed for life a century ago. ExpandED Schools prepare 21st-century learners to succeed by giving kids roughly three more hours a day of learning time and a wider range of opportunities to learn.

Since its founding in 1998, TASC has helped 464,000 kids and has trained 21,000 community educators. It has also supported 528 public schools in extending learning beyond 3 PM. TASC has helped 369 community organizations and cultural institutions and colleges build partnerships with schools and communities.
