Our new video series features moving testimonials from parents and kids about how afterschool programs have impacted their lives, families and communities. The videos focus on key themes: supporting parents; helping kids learn and grow; inspiring future careers; and keeping kids safe. We encourage you to use these videos in meetings, presentations, online and to share with partners.
The videos will be rolled out according to the schedule below and each week a new video will be promoted with paid ads. This will help create a steady beat of new content and engage new audiences. If you would like to share videos online or via social media, please drive traffic to the Alliance YouTube channel.
This site includes links to download the videos via Dropbox and for driving traffic to the Alliance YouTube channel. It also includes a brief description and details about the people and programs featured in each video, and sample content to make it easy for you to share these stories. Feel free to share insights from your work and please include the #AfterschoolWorks hashtag so we can retweet your posts.
