Today PSAYDN announced Pennsylvania’s 2018 Afterschool Champions. Youth, elected officials, program professionals and organizations were recognized for their outstanding work in developing, supporting and promoting meaningful high quality afterschool/out-of-school time programs to benefit children, youth and families across Pennsylvania.

The 2018 Pennsylvania STEM ambassadors will advance policy goals through outreach, education, targeted relationships with policymakers and building a coalition of local and regional support. They are leaders within their organizations, interested and committed to sharing their experiences and content knowledge with influential stakeholders. They also serve as role models to inspire and encourage youth to pursue opportunities for STEM exploration in both formal and informal learning environments.
