About the OST Program Quality Essentials Series
This multi-session series focuses on the core elements needed to build and sustain a high-quality out-of-school time (OST) program. Grounded in the LATT Network’s Quality Practices Guide and the Weikart Center’s Pyramid of Program Quality, the series explores how to create safe, structured, and supportive environments that promote youth engagement, interaction, and voice.
Participants who complete all sessions (across one or multiple semesters) will earn the Quality Essentials Badge.
Who Should Attend?
- Sessions are designed for front-line staff of any level who work directly with youth. Managers are encouraged to attend to receive content and bring learning back to their teams. The facilitator is happy to share any handouts and resources for managers to engage their teams in this learning.
