Get Involved With This Year's Lights On Afterschool!


Lights on Afterschool – a national event to increase awareness of the importance of afterschool - is less than a month away! On Thursday, October 18th, afterschool programs across San Francisco and nationwide will be recognizing the vital role afterschool plays in the lives of children, families and communities.

Join us in a Citywide Lights On Afterschool Awareness Campaign!

As part of this year’s Lights on Afterschool events, the San Francisco Afterschool for All Initiative (AFA) will be sponsoring a citywide awareness campaign to showcase how afterschool programs support working families. AFA will be collecting short letters from family members of afterschool program participants to send to elected officials and city leaders.

But we need your help!!

We have developed a light bulb template for parents/family members to fill out here.The Afterschool for All effort is asking that families in afterschool programs fill out the template and complete the sentence, “My family counts on this afterschool program because…”

Please send in completed light bulbs by Oct 15th  to Jessie Mandle at DCYF via mail (1390 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco 94102), fax (554-8965), or scan them (jmandle@dcyf.org) so they can be part of the citywide campaign and distributed to elected officials.  The completed light bulbs will help us build awareness around the importance of afterschool programs citywide.

Thank you for all that you’re doing to build enriching afterschool programs in San Francisco!

  1. Deciding on the venue is very important decisions, because the venue has to fulfill lots of party requirements.
