Youth Today Out-of-School-Time Resource Hub
Welcome to the Youth Today Out-of-School Time (OST) Hub. The OST Hub, funded in part by a generous grant from the Robert Bowne Foundation, incorporates the Foundation’s philosophy of positive youth development, the importance of reflection and inquiry, a deep respect for youth workers as experts in their own right and of youth worker voices. In addition, the Hub reflects the Foundation’s belief in the critical importance of building bridges between research and practice.
The OST Hub focuses on topics that address relevant and critical issues in the out-of-school time (OST) field, many of them linked with current news stories reported in Youth Today. Each topic area has its own page with links to free and downloadable articles, research, curricula and other program materials grounded in practice for in-depth exploration and deeper learning.
The OST Hub will continue to expand its topics, based on future input from the OST field. We welcome suggestions and accept submissions of research and articles for publication on the OST Hub. Contact our senior editor with your ideas and submission queries.
