Lights on AfterschoolThank you to all who participated in 2024 Lights on Afterschool events!
We'd like to take a moment to highlight an event in Madison this year - you can view the local media coverage here. We are grateful to all who hosted events around the state in recognition of afterschool and OST programs. We would love to hear from you - please share images and stories from your event with us! Email us about your event at [email protected] 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. The Afterschool Alliance organizes Lights On Afterschool to draw attention to the many ways afterschool programs support students by offering them opportunities to learn new things—such as science, community service, robotics, Tae Kwon Do and poetry—and discover new skills. The events send a powerful message that millions more kids need quality afterschool programs.
