This paper puts an in-depth study on the types of operation, factors of revitalization, operation programs, operational performance in after-school activities in the community through the case study. For this purpose, research reports, thesis, and case studies on after-school activities related to local communities were analyzed for this study. According to the operator, after-school activities linked to local communities were classified into local government, social enterprises, and unit school-oriented. The factors in revitalization include a strong will of school principals and heads of local governments, preparation, secured budgets, the establishment of a cooperative system of education communities, strengthening instructor competitiveness, and improving activity conditions for them. The various programs were operated for enhancing primary academic achievement, developing specialties and aptitude, career guidance, vacation characterization, regional characteristics, and school characteristics. Their performances were high in realizing the community education, reducing private education costs, expanding and operating after-school activities suitable for local characteristics, providing activities in rural areas, improving educational conditions, reducing teachers’ administrative workload, and satisfying schools with after-school programs. Now, schools should expand their after-school activities into communities and prepare for measures to make communities participate in school activities. [
