We promote the strategic use of information to improve quality, accessibility, and sustainability of OST programs across the nation.

In alignment with W. T. Grant's commitment to youth development through investments in high quality research, we conducted a quantitative research project aimed at examining and communicating information about the predictors of children's participation in OST activities.

As part of The Wallace Foundation's mission to support and share effective practices, we worked with Public/Private Ventures to investigate innovative efforts to recruit and retain middle and high school youth in afterschool programs.
