OST Resources
One of our guiding principles is to bridge research into practice. We do this by translating data into actionable resources for out-of-school time (OST) professionals. The following articles explore best practices, workforce development, program quality, equity and inclusion, and many other topics that are important to youth work fields.
For even more resources, browse our publications or articles from Afterschool Matters, our peer-reviewed journal that highlights the work of OST researchers and practitioners.
Wallace Foundation Releases Core Competencies
"The Wallace Foundation has made available the Strong Directors/Skilled Staff: Guide to Using the Core Competencies that NIOST put together for the New York Department of Youth and Community Development. This handbook outlines key skills - "core competencies" - needed by after-school program directors and those they supervise. It also offers guidance and tools on how to develop the skills, including questionnaires that managers and youth workers can use to determine their strengths and weaknesses." Read more here.
