February 2025 marks the vibrant celebration of "I Love Afterschool Month," a nationwide initiative dedicated to highlighting the transformative impact of afterschool programs on our youth and communities. This year is particularly special as the Afterschool Alliance commemorates its 25th anniversary, reflecting on a quarter-century of unwavering commitment to enriching students' lives beyond the classroom. A highlight of the month is "We Love Afterschool Day" on Friday, February 14. This day offers a unique opportunity for supporters to express their appreciation by sending messages to Congress, sharing heartfelt stories on social media using the #IHeartAfterschool hashtag, and engaging in community events that showcase the invaluable role of afterschool programs. Afterschool programs are instrumental in providing safe environments where children can explore new skills, foster friendships, and receive academic support. However, many of these programs face challenges due to economic pressures and funding constraints. Your generous support can make a significant difference, ensuring these essential programs continue to thrive and positively impact the lives of countless young individuals. Join us in celebrating "I Love Afterschool Month" and consider contributing to the future of our youth by supporting the Alluvium afterschool program today. (fb)
