Today, one million Americans will come together at more than 8,000 events to celebrate 22 years of Lights On Afterschool-the only nationwide celebration of afterschool programs. Celebrations are happening not only across Virginia, but all over the country, and come in all shapes and sizes. Whether in-person or virtually, there’s bound to be one happening near you! 

In addition to celebrations on the ground, social media is lighting up with news about events across the country!
