Start Planning For Lights On Afterschool 2012!

On October 18, more than 1 million people will gather at some 7,500 sites across the country and at U.S. military bases worldwide to rally in support of the afterschool programs that help working families, keep kids safe and inspire them to learn. The Afterschool Alliance provides an event guide and kit that includes a planning timeline and checklist, event ideas, sample materials, and ways to use your Lights On Afterschool event to make afterschool an election issue in 2012.
