Lights On After School returns for its 7th annual campaign!
The Learning Trust, in partnership with YearBeyond, is proud to lead the 7th annual Lights On After School campaign in South Africa.
This year’s theme, Switched On!, shines a spotlight on the powerful role After School Programmes (ASPs) play in shaping the lives of both learners and the young people who support them.
We are ready to learn, ready to play, and ready to grow.
After-school spaces nurture curiosity, wellbeing, leadership and resilience while creating opportunities for young changemakers to grow, lead and make a real impact in their communities.
These programmes are not only shaping brighter futures for learners, but for everyone involved.
We invite after-school programmes, organisations, schools, and community initiatives across South Africa and beyond to join this global campaign.
Be part of the movement, amplify the impact of after-school programmes, and help us champion this vital developmental space for everyone involved.
What is Lights On After School?
Launched by the Afterschool Alliance in 2000, Lights On Afterschool! is an international campaign that raises awareness of the vital role after-school programmes play in supporting learners’ holistic development.
It draws attention to the various ways these programmes help learners unlock their potential, while calling for greater access to quality after school opportunities.
The effort generates media coverage across the country each year. The events send a powerful message that millions more kids need quality After School Programmes.
