FLORENCE, SC – The City of Florence Recreation Services’ youth afterschool program will sponsor a Lights On Afterschool Fall Festival on October 20, 2022. This rally will be one of more than an expected 8,000 such events across America as part of Lights On Afterschool, the annual nationwide celebration of afterschool programs organized by the Afterschool Alliance. This alliance focuses on highlighting youth learning and using their voices, becoming politically aware, encouraging kids to share their thoughts, and having safe spaces to learn. We will be raising awareness to call for expanding afterschool opportunities so that every child who needs a program has access to one, and will discuss the benefits of afterschool programs, to include inspiring children to learn, keeping them safe in the hours when juvenile crime peaks, and providing relief to working families.
The event will spotlight the range of programming available at the City of Florence Recreation Services Youth Program, including its homework club. Parents, supporters, and community members are encouraged to attend.
