This week we are at the STEM Learning Ecosystems Communities of Practice Convening focused on #AccesinAction. Our key message is that afterschool is a place to help increase STEM access for youth. You can find helpful resources in our advocacy toolkit's engage page here: https://lnkd.in/easqvF3H
Afterschool STEM Hub
Education
Advocating for public support of afterschool and summer STEM learning for all youth.
About us
The Afterschool STEM Hub is a Community of Practice for organizations working at the intersection of policy, practice, and research in support of afterschool, summer, and other out-of-school-time STEM learning and engagement. The Hub is a unique gathering in which a transdisciplinary and diverse group of individuals and organizations come together to support the advocacy needs of afterschool STEM. We leverage research and evidence to advocate for well-resourced and respected afterschool STEM learning ecosystems for all youth. We facilitate the development of collaborative partnerships, share resources, and learn from others in this space as we seek to create sustainable support for afterschool STEM programs. For more information, email us at stemhub@afterschoolalliance.org

Happy Lights on Afterschool, everyone! :)
"Your efforts are part of the reason why we remain a Nation defined by possibility—where everyone has the chance to learn, grow, and pursue their dreams, no matter who they are or where they grew up. As we gather for this wonderful occasion, I hope you take pride in all you've done to advance the welfare of our children and youth." Today, the White House joins one million Americans in celebrating the 25th annual #LightsOnAfterschool. Thank you President Biden for recognizing the essential role of afterschool programs in helping our nation's youth, parents, and families thrive.

"Every community needs STEM-literate citizens who can engage with and help solve critical issues that impact our society." "Everyone benefits when we empower young people to become engaged citizens who understand how STEM can be used for public good and critical thinkers who are prepared to tackle the challenges of the future." "Afterschool and summer programs provide these opportunities and are proven to spark children’s interest in STEM."
