Afterschool Advocacy Day 2024

January 30

Afterschool Advocacy Day 2023 (January 30, 2024)

Join supporters of afterschool, summer, and expanded learning programs to uplift the necessity of increasing access to high-quality afterschool programs for New York’s youth and families. Legislators will be at the Capitol negotiating with their colleagues about what programs to fund in the FY 2024-25 budget, and we need your voice to show them that afterschool cannot be an afterthought. Afterschool programs play a crucial role in caring for and supporting youth academically, socially, and emotionally while their families are at work. Afterschool advocacy is crucial to increasing access to these programs for all New York youth.

This year, the NYS Network for Youth Success is hosting our annual Afterschool Advocacy Day event at the Well in the State Capitol on January 30. We hope to maximize participation from afterschool advocates, including afterschool professionals, families, and youth themselves, by scheduling meetings and creating new opportunities for youth to showcase their program to legislators.

Help us make the case for afterschool by registering below! Registration closes on Friday, January 19. 

Please Note: Meeting schedules with legislative offices are created based on registration to participate in Advocacy Day. We kindly ask that you strive to attend and be present for meetings you are scheduled for. 

Registration closes on January 13, 2023
