After School brings fun and creative experiences to America's teens. The largest teen-focused social network in the U.S. with millions of users in over 90% of high schools, After School is where teens can be themselves in a positive environment. Teens can speak their mind, connect with classmates, participate in social change efforts, volunteer, apply for scholarships, and more, all on After School. After School emerged from founders Michael Callahan and Cory Levy’s work with communication-based tech and conversations with America’s teens.
