Afterschool and summer programs can help youth reach their full potential in school, career, and life. Supporting health and wellness is an important aspect of out-of-school time (OST) programs, from providing access to nutritious foods and promoting healthy habits, to keeping students physically fit and supporting mental health.
The Afterschool Alliance works to enhance and expand OST programs by advocating for supportive local, state, and federal policies; building the afterschool field; and conducting and sharing research to inform policy and practice. Browse their site for more resources.
