Lt. Gov. Austin Davis Highlights State Budget's Investments in Afterschool Programs to Give Students More Opportunities and Make Communities Safer

Lt. Gov. Austin Davis today stopped by McKeesport's LaRosa Youth Club - where he spent many afternoons as a child and preteen -- to highlight how the newly signed bipartisan state budget will provide millions for afterschool programs to keep Pennsylvania communities safe and give kids more opportunities.

"As someone who was a Club Kid when I was growing up, I know firsthand the value of afterschool programs," said Lt. Gov. Davis, who leads the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD). "These programs keep kids safe during the critical hours from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and they provide opportunities for enrichment. That's why I'm incredibly proud that the bipartisan state budget includes funding for afterschool programs, as part of our comprehensive approach to making Pennsylvania communities safer."

Speakers Include:
Jim Barry Jr., CEO, Larossa Youth Club
Lt. Governor Austin Davis
Senator Jim Brewster
Representative Matthew Gergely
Michael Cherepko, Mayor of McKeesport
Damealecia Wilson, Larossa Youth Club Participant
