Afterschool in action

The 25th annual Lights On Afterschool event was celebrated with amazing success across the nation. At Propel, our Afterschool scholars, families, and educators came together to honor the positive impact of our award-winning Afterschool programming. With approximately 500 scholars engaged in Propel Afterschool programs, we are making a profound difference in their lives, the lives of their families, and their communities. Lights On Afterschool highlights the transformative impact of afterschool initiatives. Our afterschool programming is crucial in keeping our scholars safe, supporting working families, and inspiring a passion for lifelong learning.
