Join us for the 6th annual Lights On Afterschool Campaign!
The Learning Trust, in partnership with YearBeyond is leading the 6th annual Lights On After School campaign in South Africa.
The theme for 2025, “Investing in Brighter Futures,” highlights the critical role After School Programmes (ASPs) play in equipping learners with the skills they need to thrive.
Lights On After School is a year-long effort dedicated to celebrating ASPs worldwide. We’re calling on all after-school programmes, community and development organisations, donors and policy makers, and interested individuals to join and participate in the campaign.
Use the hashtags #LightsOnAfterSchool and #AfterSchoolSA on social media and across various platforms to amplify the message.
What is Lights On After School?
Launched by the Afterschool Alliance in 2000, Lights On Afterschool! is an international campaign that raises awareness of the vital role after-school programmes play in supporting learners’ holistic development.
It draws attention to the various ways these programmes help learners unlock their potential, while calling for greater access to quality after school opportunities.
The effort generates media coverage across the country each year. The events send a powerful message that millions more kids need quality After School Programmes.
