Call for Proposals

We’re looking for dynamic presenters to join us for the Virtual Recharge and share your expertise with the afterschool field. Virtual sessions will happen live, run for 60 minutes, and be recorded.

This is your opportunity to inspire, empower, and energize fellow educators by leading a session on topics such as behavior management, youth development, school-day alignment, community service, creative activities, leadership skills, STEM, health and wellness, program administration, family engagement, or any area that supports high-quality out-of-school time programming.

This is your chance to shine, connect, and make a real impact on the field of afterschool virtually! Join us and help energize, motivate, and equip educators across the rural regions.

Have multiple great ideas? Submit as many proposals as you like, bring your best and boldest concepts! The Call for Proposals closes Wednesday, December 17, and selected presenters will be notified shortly after. Don’t miss this opportunity to share your voice, showcase your vision, and make a lasting impact on the afterschool community!
