Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northern Indiana Corridor

Lights On Afterschool is the biggest day of the year for afterschool to make a splash online, get trending, and reach new audiences about the impact of afterschool programs. Afterschool programs like the Boys & Girls Club make a difference in the lives of young people every day, inspiring learning and preparing students for a bright future! We want to say thank you to our Club staff for their dedication and our community for the generous support that make our programs possible. We encourage you to put the #LightsOnAfterschool for the programs that help our kids, families, and communities thrive. https://lnkd.in/e8tvzQj2
