 Celebrate the 19th annual Lights On Afterschool this October!
Launched in October 2000, Lights On Afterschool is the only nationwide event celebrating afterschool programs and their important role in the lives of children, families and communities. The effort has become a hallmark of the afterschool movement and generates media coverage across the country each year.
On Thursday, October 25th, we'll come together again to make sure parents, policymakers, and communities understand the impact of afterschool programs in keeping kids safe, inspiring them to learn, and giving families peace of mind.
Last year, more than one million Americans in thousands of communities across the country celebrated Lights On Afterschool, putting a spotlight on the need for more funding-for every child who gets to participate in an afterschool program, there are two waiting to get in.
