Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week is April 24-28! The event recognizes the hard work and commitment from afterschool professionals. They daily improve and make an impact in the lives of our youth. The National AfterSchool Association would like to help you be apart of thanking your afterschool professional. Join the effort by making plans to celebrate, post appreciation week on social media and donate your social followers. An estimated 10.2 million children participate in afterschool programs each year. Now more than ever is the time to promote afterschool programs and their devoted staff!
