Lights On Afterschool is the Nation’s only celebration of Afterschool Programs and their role in keeping kids safe, inspiring them to learn, and helping with working families. 

2020 Lights On Afterschool

Celebrating Lights On Afterschool looked a little different this year, but it was more important than ever to showcase the importance of afterschool programs and the hard work the out-of-school time community invests in providing for our keiki and ‘ōpio! 
​Programs were encouraged to celebrate by taking the Lights On Afterschool Dance Challenge! Youth created their own dance to "Light It Up - Remix" by Major Lazer! Check out #LightsOnHI on Instagram to see the video submissions!
​Check out this informational video about the power of afterschool programs created by a youth-led team in celebration of Lights On Afterschool!
