  The
support of a school board or superintendent, city
council, mayor, governor, or Congressional representative
can make the critical difference in the success
of afterschool in your community. Contacting local,
state and national leaders may be a little intimidating
compared to chatting with neighbors and friends,
but keep in mind that these individuals are working
for you, and your community.
You might start by calling your school, principal
or superintendent to ask about afterschool in
your community, then call, write, e-mail or meet
with your leaders to let them know how important
afterschool programs are to the communities they
represent. Ask how they are supporting afterschool
programs and whether they are working toward afterschool
for all children.
