Title: Action Day Preparation: Amplifying Our Movement
Preparing for and leveraging OST education and awareness day- statewide visibility efforts.
Description: Join the Director of the Pennsylvania Statewide Afterschool/Youth Development Network (PSAYDN) for a strategic and action-oriented session designed to prepare participants for Afterschool Education and Awareness Day at the State Capitol. This session will equip out-of-school time (OST) leaders, youth advocates, and partners with the tools, messaging, and confidence needed to effectively elevate their voices and showcase the impact of afterschool and summer programs across Pennsylvania.
Participants will gain practical guidance on preparing for legislative visits, engaging youth in meaningful advocacy, and aligning their messaging with PSAYDN’s statewide Education and Awareness campaign: Investing in Youth, Strengthening Our Workforce. The session will also highlight strategies to maximize visibility before, during, and after-Action Day including storytelling, media engagement, and relationship-building with policymakers.
Whether you are attending Action Day for the first time or looking to strengthen your impact, this session will help you show up prepared, unified, and ready to amplify our collective movement for high-quality OST programming.
