About this webinar:

Research shows that parental engagement is key to student success, but in many communities it is one of the biggest challenges that formal and informal educators face. If you’re looking for a way to get parents more involved in your program, organizing a Lights on Afterschool celebration can help you build relationships and pave the way for more sustained engagement. Join the discussion to hear tips and strategies from two afterschool leaders who have used past Lights On Afterschool events to connect with parents and families.
