SHARE YOUR STORY
The best way to persuade, inspire, and compel community members and policymakers to act is to share your personal story. Solid data can open a door, but a personal story moves people through it.


Thanks to the tireless passion and efforts of afterschool champions across the state, Vermont now has a dedicated annual funding source to increase afterschool and summer program capacity, expanding access to these safe and enriching spaces for Vermont’s youth.
But the work isn’t done. Threats to afterschool funding remain, making it more important than ever to raise a powerful, unified voice in support of the power of afterschool.
We need you—afterschool professionals, parents, neighbors, business owners, partners, and allies—to stay informed, to speak up, and to stand together as champions for afterschool. For the youth who are nourished by these third spaces. For the working families who rely on them. And for the businesses, communities, and economy that thrive because of them.
The best way to persuade, inspire, and compel community members and policymakers to act is to share your personal story. Solid data can open a door, but a personal story moves people through it.
