🌟✨💫LIGHTS ON FOR OUR YOUTH!

Today we are celebrating Lights on Afterschool! Governor Brad Little has declared October 22nd Lights on Afterschool Day! This nationwide celebration shines a light on the importance of quality afterschool programs that keep young people safe, support working families, and provide opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.

ION and Jannus board members are outside Owyhee Park today, part of the Boise Parks and Rec where several programs are getting kids outdoors, engaged in-real-life play, and learning STEM concepts. Idaho has more than 500 out-of-school time programs that are providing incredible opportunities for kids!

The Idaho Out-of-School Network celebrates the Idaho Attorney General’s litigation with Meta and settlement to support the well-being and healthy development of Idaho’s young people!

The Settlement Agreement outlines the terms of how these funds can be used, including support afterschool and summer learning opportunities. The Idaho Attorney General has directed these funds to the Idaho Legislature, who will then determine the exact use of funds.

As the statewide coordinator for Fund IRL Idaho, ION invites our organizational partners and afterschool champions to sign up to receive updates and information about the settlement and Fund IRL Idaho. Our goal is to help ensure Idaho kids engage in meaningful, in-real-life activities and opportunities that supports their mental health and well-being.
