Lighting the Way to Bright Futures
For 30 years, South Florida After-School All-Stars has helped young people across South Florida learn, grow, discover their talents, and prepare for bright futures through safe, enriching after-school and summer programs.
This year, we need our community’s help. Government grants that have been a cornerstone of our funding for many years have been reduced, leaving us with a funding gap of more than $1 million. While our funding has changed, our commitment to South Florida’s children has not.
We have launched our Keeping the Lights On, a fundraising and awareness campaign this fall, in conjunction with the Afterschool Alliance nationwide Lights On Afterschool initiative. The campaign celebrates the important role after-school and summer programs play in the community while calling on the South Florida community to help bridge a significant funding gap.
Through our Keeping the Lights On Fall Campaign, we’re asking individuals, businesses, foundations, and community partners to invest in the young people in our own community.
