TAA's mission is to be a voice for positive change in the out-of-school-time field. We seek to ensure a comprehensive system of out-of-school-time opportunities for children, youth, and families that are diverse, accessible, balanced, and of the highest quality. We work to empower professionals in the field through advocacy, leadership development, and partnership building.

TAA is the Texas's statewide organization dedicated to systematically enhancing the workforce and professional development of school-age workers at all levels.

TAA is one of 35 state affiliates with the National AfterSchool Association (NAA, formerly NSACA).  TAA is also affiliated with the Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of afterschool programs and advocating for quality, affordable programs for all children. It is supported by a group of public, private and nonprofit organizations that share the Alliance's vision of ensuring that all children have access to afterschool programs by 2010.
