This year, Prime Time will commemorate the exemplary efforts of our local out-of-school time community at its Afterschool Symposium 2020. This year’s theme, Healthy Minds, Healthy Youth, focuses on the significance of positive mental health and the enduring impact that self-care has on our profession and in the lives of children and youth. Our theme is a call-to-action, encouraging attendees to take charge of their well-being, identify signs of concern in their youth, and advocate for healthier communities. |
