We Need To Talk About OST Funding. It's Important.

We’re already starting to hear rumblings about funding for out of school time in the FY21 budget. If you receive DC Government Funding for OST programming, we need to fill you in.

Join us November 13th for our OST “Advocacy All Call”

During this virtual session we will:

Share what we're hearing and what it means
Set out an action plan
Provide you with an easy to use OST Advocacy Toolkit

RSVP today to help make sure the gains we've made in the last two years are safe in FY21.

Keep The Lights On Afterschool.

Request A: Youth Advocacy 101 Training Session

Finally, do you work with older youth who are interested in how they can be agents of change in their community?

We have a limited number of opportunities for you and your young people to participate in our Youth Advocacy 101 Curriculum. These tailored training sessions help youth and young adults understand how they can inform positive change - in a whole bunch of ways.

If you’re interested in taking advantage of this unique opportunity, please reach out to Mariah Green, mariah@dc-aya.org.

If you have any questions about these upcoming events, or anything else, please feel free to reach out directly: Maggie@dc-aya.org.

Otherwise, I hope to see you, or talk to you at an upcoming event.

Best,

Maggie
