Beyond School Hours® Conference

Foundations' national Beyond School Hours® conference is a one-stop shop to collect information, connect with colleagues and renew your commitment to the youth you serve.

Each year, attendees from across the nation learn how to support programming that offers positive social interaction, improves academic achievement and creates a safe, welcoming environment for children and youth of all ages.

Attendees also have the opportunity to build their skills through the variety of workshops offered during the conference by the Center for Afterschool Education.
