Northern Recharge

Northern Recharge is a one-day, in-person professional development workshop designed specifically for Afterschool Professionals. Join us on February 21st, 2026, from 10 am to 4 pm at Glendale Middle School, 1430 West Andrew Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah 84104.

This immersive experience is an opportunity to step away from the daily hustle, reconnect with your purpose, and recharge alongside peers who share your commitment to high-quality out-of-school time programming.

Throughout the day, participants will engage in meaningful learning experiences focused on strengthening practice and leadership in afterschool settings. Sessions will explore youth development, school-day alignment, high-quality program design, hands-on STEM enrichment, social-emotional learning, staff collaboration, community service, and program planning. Northern Recharge is designed to be practical, interactive, and immediately applicable, equipping professionals with tools, strategies, and inspiration they can bring back to their programs to better support youth, families, and school partners.

You’re invited to join the Utah Afterschool Network and youth-serving organizations from across the state for Afterschool Day on the Hill!

Come raise your voice, elevate youth perspectives, and help champion the future of afterschool in Utah. We hope to see you there!
