Out-of-school time (OST) programs play a key role in supporting young people’s learning, well-being, and sense of belonging beyond the school day.
Developed from MAEC’s Complementing the School Day webinar series, this collection of one-page resources brings together practical strategies and lessons from OST practitioners and experts. The series covers topics including program quality and equity, family engagement, mental wellness, positive youth development, and school-community partnerships. Each resource summarizes key takeaways, actionable strategies, and additional resources to support OST providers in their work with youth and families.
We invite OST providers to explore the series to gain ideas, resources, and approaches that support positive outcomes for youth, families, and communities. You can check out all of our resources below:
