Lights On Afterschool
 
Lights On Afterschool is a national day set aside every October to recognize and celebrate afterschool. This day offers afterschool programs an opportunity to build relationships and visibility on a local level. Hosting a Lights On Afterschool event in your community contributes to the strong, unified message about the importance of afterschool in Georgia.

Georgia Afterschool Rotary Partnership
 
Georgia Rotary District 6900 Governor Ted Propes, announced that one of his signature projects will be promoting afterschool in Georgia. As a result of Governor Propes’ leadership, GAIC and the Rotary are building a partnership that includes identifying ways Rotary leaders can take action today on behalf of Georgia’s kids.  Support includes volunteer and financial support focused on making quality afterschool programs available to all Georgia children. 

A key component of this partnership is participation in the Afterschool for All project, which was launched in 2007 with the goal of collecting 100,000 signatures of Georgians in support of afterschool opportunities being available for all of Georgia’s children.  In early July, Rotary District 6900 Governor Ted Propes announced his district, which includes more than 70 clubs, would assist GAIC in reaching nearly half of our goal by securing 45,000 signatures. Hundreds of signatures have already been secured.
