We are so excited to welcome you to our Cambridge OST Learning Institute! The OST Learning Institute provides high-quality, multi-faceted, learning opportunities, experiences, and a repository of resources to support the professional growth, enrichment and development of all Cambridge OST professionals.
 
"We The People mural" above is an iconic symbol of Cambridge Agenda for Children Out-of-School Time (AFCOST) and our commitment to helping shape equitable opportunities and possibilities for the OST workforce and for all of our city’s children, youth and families.
 
Ensuring that we have the skills, knowledge, and the curiosity to continually engage in learning are keys to helping shape positive futures for the young people in our OST programs. So we invite you to step into your OST Learning Institute…explore what’s here… reignite your OST learning journey--and don’t forget to come back often to check out new offerings and learning opportunities that will become available over time!
