Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week is a time to celebrate those who support young people during out-of-school time — but appreciation shouldn’t stop on April 24! 🌟 Recognition matters. Advocacy sustains the workforce. 🌟 Afterschool professionals are essential to positive youth outcomes, yet many face ongoing challenges related to job quality, compensation, and career pathways. What can we do beyond this week? ✔ Support job quality: fair wages, benefits, and professional growth opportunities ✔ Advocate for investment: strong programs require a strong workforce ✔ Elevate the profession: recognize afterschool as a career, not just a role ✔ Keep saying thank you: consistent appreciation makes a difference Afterschool professionals are the #HeartOfAfterschool. Let’s ensure they feel valued, not just this week, but all year long. Get involved: https://naaweb.org/page/AfterschoolProfessionalsAppreciationWeek
