Abstract

Intentionality in the design and planning of out-of-school time (OST) programming is a key component of out-of school time success (DC Children & Youth Investment Trust Corporation, 2009). One of the most essential and promising practices of quality OST programs is the development of a specific program identity. That is, OST programs should develop a core strategy that serves as the underpinning of their program philosophy while incorporating age-appropriate activities that align with youth outcomes. This is especially important in programs that serve older youth, because older youth need relevant experiences that expose them to prospective college and career plans and build 21st-century skills.
