Getting Social @ the Afterschool for All Challenge

Are you ready for a challenge

This year we’re upping the ante and issuing social media challenges for our fans, friends and followers to help spread the message that #afterschoolworks. 

Our mission: 500 tweets. 500 photos.

Starting Monday, May 7, log on to our Social Media Hub where we’ll be live tracking all of the Challenge buzz, including participant photos, top tweeters, a live Twitter stream and ways to take action at home.  Our goal is to bank 500 event photos and 500 tweets with our official Challenge hashtags.  Here’s how you can help us get there: 


  • Follow us @afterschool4all
  • Use one of the official Challenge hashtags in all of your tweets: #a4aChallenge and #AfterschoolWorks
  • Send a tweet telling us how #AfterschoolWorks for you
  • Keep an eye out for “Mini Challenges!” We’ll be tweeting trivia questions throughout the day to see how well you know your stuff
  • Retweets count! Retweet your favorite posts to help reach our goal
Photos:
  • Email your Challenge photos to afterschoolalliance.challenge@picasaweb.com to contribute to our Web gallery
  • If you can’t join us at the Challenge, send a photo from your afterschool program!  Consider holding a sign that says “Afterschool is Key” or incorporating afterschool green into your photo!
