Youth from programs around the country will share reflections on the past year and a half and how their afterschool programs have impacted their lives, perspectives on what youth need to thrive, and hopes for the future. A special segment will be devoted to recognizing the powerful role of afterschool program staff and mentors in shaping the lives of young people.

The Afterschool Alliance and Mozilla have partnered up this year to bring you the Lights On Afterschool Webmaker Challenge, a simple, fun activity to help afterschool programs develop students’ webmaking and digital literacy skills.
