Do you know what your kids do afterschool? If not, you’re not alone. Many parents are unable to keep track of their children and work at the same time. According to the National Center for Juvenile Justice, the highest crime rates involving teens are between the hours of 3:00 – 6:00 p.m.

Lights On Afterschool Muskegon County with the support of grants, the community and United Way, is currently at six sites. Funders include: Alcoa Foundation, Gerber Foundation, individual contributors, and United Way donor designations. Lights On supports programs that focus on specific outcomes within academic and recreational activities.
