Lights On Afterschool will hold its 25th annual nationwide event on Oct. 24 to celebrate after school programs and their role in the lives of children, families, and communities. The Afterschool Alliance organizes LOA events to draw attention to the ways that after school programs support students by offering them opportunities to learn new things and discover new skills.

To support out-of-school time programs in Allegheny County, APOST is providing mini-grant funds to implement an event or project in celebration of Lights On Afterschool. 

Those who are chosen for mini grants will:

  • Receive $500 to implement a Lights On Afterschool-inspired event or project

  • Receive assistance from APOST staff, who will attend events or participate in projects where possible

  • Have their projects/events listed on APOST’s website and communications

  • Have a chance for their projects/events to be spotlighted in future APOST materials

Those interested should apply for the mini-grant by Monday, Oct. 7. Be sure to read all the requirements for submission.

Award notification will be within seven business days of submitting your application. Award distribution will be within 14 days.
