National League of Cities supports AfterSchool!
Sometimes people don't think they can fight City Hall, but in San Antonio this week, City Hall was listening. 435 attendees from 40 states attended the National League of Cities Summit on Your Families in San Antonio, TX. 115 public officials from Mayor's Offices, City Councils, Commissions and School Boards sat alongside 300 stakeholders and shared what is working and what isn't working with Youth & AfterSchool initiatives. One speaker in the morning session said, "To Build Partnerships you have to provide: real work, real responsibilities, real funds and high expectations." It was clear that it is not good enough just want to make a difference, or to be a caring citizen. You must BELIEVE that you can make a difference.
