Lights On Afterschool registration opens today!

Get ready for a huge celebration—today is the official start of Lights On Afterschool! Registration opens today, so head over to the Lights On Afterschool site to tell us how your program is planning to join in the rally!

Last year’s Lights On Afterschool saw exactly 8,200 events held across the USA and the world, making it the brightest year ever. One million people joined together to shine a light on the amazing work that afterschool programs are doing to improve the lives of kids and families in their communities—and it’s more important than ever to share those stories across the country!

This year, we’re connecting programs with elected officials to show community leaders how afterschool works; amplifying the important work that out-of-school time programs do for kids’ health and wellness; showcasing the amazing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning opportunities in afterschool; and celebrating the partnerships between afterschool programs and libraries across the country. 

Here’s how you can get involved:

Start getting the word out today! Share your plans for this year’s #LightsOnAfterschool, tell the world how #afterschoolworks, and connect with us on TwitterFacebook, and Instagram.
