Afterschool Advocacy Day

Join us May 5 to advocate for out-of-school time programs in Harrisburg! Parents, program providers, youth, faith-based leaders and business leaders from across the state will come together to highlight the importance of afterschool and out-of-school time programs in our state. We enourage you to bring youth. The ratio required for adult to youth is 1 to 5. APOST will provide adults and youth with a t-shirt, transportation, and meals. Please contact apost@uwac.org with questions.
