HAVE AN EXPERTISE IN YOUTH LEADERSHIP? IF SO, APOST NEEDS YOU!
Join APOST as we create a simplistic set of ACTIONS (not to be confused with objectives or learning outcomes) youth will participate in when attending an out-of-school time program which identifies itself with a "youth leadership" focus. These best practices will offer
OST Providers a set of actionable criteria with which to determine their youth development focus area. In addition, the best practices will provide parents/school districts/community with a simplistic menu of actions that youth will participate in if attending a youth leadership focused OST program
