Out-of-school programs encompass a wide array of funding areas, including Arts, Sports, Food/Nutrition, Academic, and Leadership Development, and many have common threads and share best practices involved with their offering and delivery services. OST collaborations can be an effective approach to enhancing and strengthening the communities by providing young people with activities that promote health, well-being and achievement.
Continuing our conversation regarding the importance of the out-of-school time programming for children and youth, during this session, attendees will engage in a dialogue around our commonalities and discuss where opportunities exist to share best practices and resources and/or engage in collective action. We will also also receive an update on the City of Philadelphia's Out-of-School-Time Initiative.
Whether your organization funds after school arts programs, sports-based youth development programs, academic enrichment, or other programs that support positive youth development outside of school time, we encourage you to join us for this session.
Light breakfast will be provided.
