Oakland Community After School Alliance

Thanks to Youth Roots and to Mirella, Laila, Gerald and all of the powerful, dedicated youth works at Oakland Leaf for raising my spirits on another tough day in Oakland.

To meet the growing demand for providing better out-of-school time opportunities to more children, a number of cities have been working to create OST “systems” – meaning, developing the coherent structures necessary to secure and maintain the needed leadership, information and other resources to deliver quality programs citywide. This new report – and a companion synopsis – analyzes the monetary and in-kind investments being made to pursue common strategies to develop such systems in six cities (three of which have been pursuing their OST work with Wallace support): Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Denver, New York City and Seattle.Download the full report here
