School’s Out, So Let The Learning Continue

Moderated by the Executive Director of the National AfterSchool Association, this panel discussion will convene leaders from Discovery Education, Pepco Holdings, Inc. and Boys & Girls Clubs of America to explore the myriad opportunities open to kids outside of the classroom.
