The Vermont Center for Afterschool Excellence seeks to work with and inform decision-makers at all levels (local, state, federal) by providing information and opportunities for discussion. The development and expansion of high-quality programs and the creation of sustainable streams of funding are only possible with a policy agenda that supports afterschool programs, expanded educational opportunities, and positive youth development.

• Save the date! The 11th Annual Lights On Afterschool Day will be Thursday, October 21, 2010.
