Hundreds of children, parents, business and community leaders came together at a Lights On Afterschool rally with YES at each of our center and school locations to celebrate the achievements of afterschool students and draw attention to the need for more afterschool programs to serve the millions of children nationwide who are unsupervised and at risk each weekday afternoon.  The gathering was one of 7,500 such events across the nation emphasizing the importance of keeping the lights on and the doors open for afterschool programs.
