Join the Afterschool Alliance and advocates from across the country in Washington DC to help grow support for after-school programs. The Challenge will feature two full days of activities, including a Youth Advocacy track, training and networking sessions, and favorite events such as the Breakfast of Champions and meetings with Members of Congress and staff. At this year's Breakfast of Champions, we will honor Congressional afterschool champions, as well as state and local leaders.
City officials, superintendents, school board members, and afterschool providers will have the chance to share ideas and strategies for ensuring the growth of quality afterschool programs.
n addition to the trainings and events, all Challenge participants are provided with lunch and a reception on May 13th and breakfast on the 14th. Congressional meetings will also be scheduled on your behalf. If you are planning to bring youth, we encourage you to bring youth middle school age and older and to bring only 1-2 youth so that we can accommodate youth from communities across the country.
