A Word from our Youth Development Team
To Our Members, Child Care Participants, and Community,
We are asking for your help in advocating for and securing the funding that makes our programs possible for youth and families across our community. Right now, we have an important opportunity to make our voices heard in support of Michigan’s 32n grant funding, and we need your help.
We are currently advocating for continued funding for Michigan’s 32n Grant, which supports community-based organizations—like ours—to provide youth with expanded learning opportunities beyond the classroom. This funding has been instrumental in helping us offer high-quality, accessible, and enriching programming that supports students.
How You Can Help:
We’re asking our members to send a short message to their state legislators urging them to continue 32n grant funding. Even if you’re not directly involved with our youth prgramming, your role is vital—and your voice matters.
What you can do:
- Send a brief email to your legislators (see below for sample message).
- Encourage your community to do the same.
- Learn more about the 32N Grant.
- More resources for Michigan’s Out-of-School Time Funding — Michigan After School Partnership
You can find your legislators here: Legislators – Michigan Legislature
Thank you for supporting our organization and for speaking up for the youth and families we serve!
