Abstract

The literature on youth development posits that Out-of- School Time (OST) is an integral partner in providing equitable experiences for youth who live in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities and attend under-resourced schools. (AYPF, 2006) Understanding that the equitable attainment of education and employment are key social determinants of health and upward mobility, the Department of Human Services (DHS) has identified college and career readiness as an important outcome for OST programs serving high school youth.
