Lights on Afterschool, presented by Bayer Healthcare, is a national event across a number of communities that celebrate and advocate for afterschool, before-school, weekend or summer programs. Out-of-School time programs provides children and youth opportunities to connect with supportive adults, grow positively with peers and learn to give back to the community. Youth who participate in OST programs make positive contributions back to the community by planting community gardens, organizing clean-ups, raising funds for a charity and have lead changes in their schools. In addition, youth in OST have made significant improvements behaviorally and academically as well as demonstrated gains in standardize test scores. In Allegheny County there are 188,023 youth between the ages of 5-17 eligible to participate in afterschool or expanded learning opportunities.

Everything Afterschool

Everything Afterschool is a unique networking event and an opportunity for providers to learn about all of the wonderful enrichment providers available to enhance programming. This is a great event for providers to exhibit or attend for an informative and fun-filled event!
