The 32n grant program was created and designed to improve the school attendance, academic outcomes, positive behaviors, and skill acquisition of Michigan’s K–12 students. The Michigan Afterschool Partnership worked closely with Governor Whitmer’s
office and the Michigan Department of Education to establish and administer the grant program. This collaboration was made

manage and oversee the grant program.

Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I live in [Your City, State or ZIP Code].
I’m calling to urge [Senator/Representative Name] to oppose any federal budget cuts that would hurt programs like the Community Services Block Grant, Head Start, Weatherization Assistance, and LIHEAP.
