Lights on Afterschool
Join us in celebrating the 20th annual Lights On Afterschool Day on October 24th, 2019. Launched in 2000 by the Afterschool Alliance, Lights On Afterschool calls attention to the importance of afterschool programs and the need to keep the lights on and the doors open after the school day ends.
GSAN has created a toolkit for you to use for your celebration and to raise awareness of the wide variety of programming offered by afterschool programs using the hashtag #ThisIsAfterschool. If you are hosting a Lights On Afterschool event, please register here and mark your calendars for Lights on Afterschool 2019 on October 24th!
