Join Common Ground and the Afterschool Alliance for the Lights On! Afterschool Fall Camp Kick-off & Celebration!
Get ready for an eventful afternoon at Common Ground -the Cindy Nord Center for Renewal on Thursday, October 24, 2024, from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM, we’re kicking off our Fall and Winter Camp Programs with a bang!
🌟 Celebrate 25 Years of Lights On! Afterschool 🌟
In communities today, 7.7 million children are on their own after school and on weekends. Afterschool programs keep kids safe, inspire them to learn, and help working families. Programs give young people opportunities to connect, explore, and realize their full potential. Join us, along with 8,000+ afterschool programs nationwide, including the Ohio Afterschool Network and Afterschool Alliance in celebrating afterschool programs. We think every child who wants opportunities to learn and grow afterschool should have one.
Why You Should Be There: This event is a celebration of the incredible impact afterschool programs have on our children, families, and communities. This fall and winter, we at Common Ground, will launch a monthly campaign to provide quality fun and educational programming that brings together our camp families & community. Join us as we bring together fun, learning, and excitement—all while honoring 25 years of Lights On! Afterschool! and the importance of Ohio Afterschool programs for our students.
