Afterschool Webinar:

About this webinar:

The critical midterm elections are this fall and we’re calling on all afterschool programs to raise awareness about their importance to students, families and communities. Learn about some of the key challenges and opportunities facing afterschool and summer learning programs during this election season, and discover how you can advocate for afterschool in your community and raise awareness of these critical programs among elected officials and candidates. The speakers will cite examples of successful advocacy efforts, including hosting site visits.
