Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week (APAW) is a time to recognize, appreciate, and advocate for those who work with young people during out-of-school time hours. The week is marked by celebrations, public relations, and advocacy efforts encouraging appreciation and support for afterschool professionals who make a profound difference in the lives of youth.

This week, VPOST is highlighting OST Rockstars, nominated by their peers, for showcasing outstanding performance in their field. Join us in showing our appreciation for these incredible Afterschool Professionals!
