7th Annual Afterschool for All Challenge

Make plans to join the 7th Annual Afterschool for All Challenge. The Afterschool for All Challenge will bring together afterschool staff, administrators, advocates and youth from all over the country. Join us at Washington DC's Grand Hyatt Hotel for two days of workshops, networking, meetings with Congressional offices and celebrations of afterschool. Day One of the Afterschool for All Challenge will consist of panels and forums on all the latest afterschool topics, a training to prepare you for meetings with Capitol Hill offices and a networking reception. Day Two will begin with the famed Breakfast of Champions, where we will honor afterschool all stars, celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Initiative and hear from congressional afterschool champions. Following the breakfast, we will meet with Members of Congress and staff to discuss the importance of afterschool and the need for continued investment.

For this year's Afterschool for All Challenge we are especially excited to partner with the National League of Cities and their National City Afterschool Summit. City officials, superintendents, school board members, and afterschool providers will have the chance to share ideas and strategies for ensuring the growth of quality afterschool programs.
