NAA Summer Spotlight: Check Out All the Great Stuff Fresh Out from NAA
Mark your calendars for NAA26! The National AfterSchool Association’s 2026 Convention will take place March 11 to 14, 2026, in the Washington, D.C. area at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. This year’s theme, Dream. Dare. Do., invites each of us to imagine bold futures for young people and our profession, take courageous steps forward, and act with purpose and power.
In a time when many in our field are facing serious and sustained challenges, especially around federal funding, this convention will be more than a professional development event. It will be a space to reconnect with our shared purpose, gather strength from one another, and return home ready to keep showing up for youth, communities, and each other.
Beginning Monday, July 28, the National AfterSchool Association is celebrating Back-to-School Week! Join us for the release of the Back-to-School Products & Services Catalog along with daily spotlights and giveaways from key sponsors. More info to come!
