Youth Voice Week (March 24-28, 2025)
Youth Voice Week is a dedicated period where young people are encouraged to actively share their opinions, experiences, and ideas on issues that matter to them, often focusing on the importance of afterschool programs
We’re lifting up youth perspectives. Join us in elevating youth voices and the role of afterschool and summer programs in providing youth with opportunities to lead and grow.
With federal budget cuts looming, it’s particularly important to connect with our representatives in Congress and share with them the power of afterschool.

Get featured on Afterschool Alliance’s website! Each day of Youth Voice Week Afterschool Alliance will publish a guest blog submitted by a program or youth. Your submission can be an existing piece; no need to create something new! Selected pieces will be published on the Afterschool Snack, and promoted on their social feed and their weekly newsletter. Send an email with your submission to info@afterschoolalliance.org.
