Lights On Afterschool! Event –Oct 14/2004, Issued on 08/15/2004
ACF signed on as a National Supporting Organization for Lights On Afterschool! On October 14, afterschool programs across the country will open their doors to community members, parents and the media in order to highlight the value of these programs. Quality afterschool programs provide a safe place for kids while their parents are working as well as a range of fun activities that promote child and youth development and learning. More than 6000 school-age child care facilities, recreation centers and afterschool programs around the country are expected to participate in this year’s Lights On Afterschool! event, which is a project of the Afterschool Alliance.
