Sharing Resources to Help OST Programs Navigate

At the Agenda for Children OST, we are committed to supporting Cambridge Out-of-School Time programs as you navigate the ongoing federal policy changes that are directly impacting vulnerable children, youth, and families. We understand that keeping up with these constant changes is challenging—especially when many of these actions conflict with our core values and the needs of our communities. These shifts can feel threatening, designed to instill fear, distract us, and drain our energy, often leaving us feeling hopeless and powerless.

Now, more than ever, it is crucial for us to connect, share our collective wisdom, and draw on our strength. We are deeply grateful to be part of a community that is committed to ensuring equitable access to quality afterschool programs.

To support you, we’ve compiled several resource guides that we hope will be useful. We also invite you to share any additional resources that could benefit your peers and colleagues. Use this form to send us your recommendations.

If you need any support or have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Khari ([email protected]) or Susan ([email protected]). We are here to help.
