Nominate a Lights on Afterschool Champion!

Each year, we honor Lights On Afterschool Champions nominated by the OST community. Champions may be program staff, school-day partners, youth leaders, volunteers, or advocates who make a meaningful difference in their communities. We’re looking for outstanding individuals who make afterschool and summer programs shine—people whose dedication, creativity, and leadership keep the “lights on” for kids and families across our state.

If someone inspires you, supports your program, or helps youth thrive, we want to hear about them.
Submit a nomination and help us celebrate the amazing work happening in Idaho’s out-of-school time programs.
