Tools You Can Use: Webinar for the Wallace Foundation Funding Tool

High-quality out-of-school time programs play an important role in the lives of our nation’s young people by offering youth additional opportunities for positive experiences that support the development of important skills, attitudes, and behaviors. OST programs can be a key lever for community and local system leaders to help reverse longstanding inequities, but the lack of robust, comprehensive funding is often a barrier to program expansion and quality improvement efforts in:

1) Creating and Sustaining Equitable Conditions for Learning

2) Preparing for Program Delivery

3) Building and Aligning Ecosystems of Support

The Wallace Foundation’s federal funding stream guide identifies providers, districts, summer and afterschool intermediaries, municipal government leaders, and state government leaders OST organizations can tap to support equitable access to high-quality programs. This tool distinguishes specific actions and considerations OST program leaders, school district officials, and local government agencies can keep in mind as they design summer and afterschool learning programs for young people.

The National AfterSchool Association and the Wallace Foundation will be hosting the OST Funding Guide webinar on Tuesday, May 16, 2023, at 2 PM EST. Register here to attend the webinar and visit the Funding Tool page to learn more.
