Out-of-School Time Coordination in a New Era
Out-of-School Time Intermediaries (OSTIs) are organizations that support a community’s afterschool and other programs. They play a wide range of roles managing systems, ensuring quality, building access and fostering equity, to name a few. During the global COVID-19 pandemic, OSTIs took on even greater responsibilities, reimagining how they could help address the heightened needs of children and their families.
Join us as we dive into the findings and lessons from a new report from Research for Action and McClanahan Associates: Responding, Reimagining, Realizing: Out-of-School Time Coordination in a New Era.
The report examines how OSTIs stepped up in new ways to support their communities and address inequities made worse by the pandemic.
Hear insights from OSTI leaders on how their organizations formed partnerships with key stakeholders, doubled down on their commitment to equity, expanded the presence of out-of-school time programming, and more.
Speakers include:
- Megan Addison, Collective for Youth, Omaha
- Jenee Tucker, The Family League of Baltimore
- Jessica Donner, Every Hour Counts
