UAN Policymaker Visits Toolkit: Tips for Afterschool Providers
This Toolkit includes a planning guide, event checklist, sample press release, and talking points.

Legislator Engagement Resources 
Program admin, direct serving staff, youth, and parents have a story to share about the importance of afterschool and summer programming. We've assembled a collection of letter templates, easy talking points, coloring pages, and other materials to help anyone in your afterschool community share their story. Don't hesitate to reach out to the UAN team if you want help connecting with your legislator.

Program Lobby Engagement Pages
It's never fun notifying parents when their kids are on a waiting list, hang these flyers in your program lobby to help empower them to reach out to their local, state, and federal representatives to advocate for more support for afterschool. Don't forget to remind them to reach out to celebrate your program too!
