Opportunities From: Volunteer Arlington

When all children are supported to reach their potential, communities thrive with innovation, creativity, and shared opportunity.

Celebrate MLK Day of Service with Aspire Afterschool Learning and the Center for Youth and Family Advocacy (CYFA) by learning how afterschool programs unlock the potential of young people and close opportunity gaps. This interactive Listen and Learn session will show how high-quality afterschool programs build on students’ strengths, foster growth, and create opportunities for every child to thrive, reflecting Dr. King’s vision of equitable education. The session will also provide tangible ways that you can support out of school time programs in Arlington and help close the educational opportunity gap.

After the discussion, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on service project preparing materials for CYFA’s afterschool program. These resources support the Darkness to Light series, which introduces youth to diverse cultures and encourages them to celebrate the world around them. All supplies are provided on site, and your contributions will have an immediate, meaningful impact on youth in the community.

Why Attend:
- Learn about the transformative power of afterschool programs
- Honor Dr. King’s vision by supporting educational equity
- Make a direct, tangible difference through a creative service project

Join us to learn, serve, and make an impact.
