Join more than 8,000 communities and 1 million Americans in celebrating afterschool programs for this year’s Lights On Afterschool! This nationwide event, organized by the Afterschool Alliance, calls attention to the importance of afterschool programs and the resources required to keep the lights on and the doors open.
We encourage you to hold a Lights On Afterschool celebration to showcase the great things happening in your program, and help call attention to this important issue. All who register to be part of Lights On Afterschool will receive free posters and planning tips, and events will be promoted to media and the public.
Last year, approximately 200 LOA events were held across Tennessee. This year we want to reach an all-time high, but we need you to register your program as soon as possible. Currently there are 51 programs registered, so we need to get busy!
Everything you need to plan a successful event, from case studies to sample materials, is available in the Lights On Afterschool Planning Kit.
This year we will again light up the Korean Veterans Bridge in Nashville and the Hernando de Soto and Big River Crossing bridge in Memphis. It would be great for you to encourage your neighborhoods to light up local landmarks, or ask the local United Way, Mayor’s office, or other prominent places to leave their lights on that night.
