Afterschool Webinar:

About this webinar:

In communities across the country, afterschool programs are facing an uncertain financial future and a rocky economic climate. Our nation’s leaders need to hear what’s happening in their districtsboth the struggles and the amazing success stories of the kids whose lives are impacted by afterschool programs every day. That’s why we’re asking program staff, parents, educators and everyone in between to take the Afterschool for All Challenge on May 22, 2014.

Instead of joining us on Capitol Hill, you can help protect and expand quality afterschool programs by setting up meetings with your local district offices. Our goal is to get as many afterschool supporters as possible to arrange meetings with all 435 congressional districts. This webinar will guide you through the process of setting up a visit with your Congressional representatives district office, offer some practical resources to help you with the visit and provide suggestions for what to bring.
