“Modestly funded and often stretched to their limits, the organizations that provide out-of-school time (OST) programming face mounting demands to deliver higher quality services to more children. The Wallace Foundation recently asked several experts in the OST field to identify what they think are the key organizational, administrative and management obstacles impeding OST providers from lifting the quality of their programs and discuss how those might be overcome.” Download the white papers for free at the Wallace Foundation website: “Strengthening Out-of-School Time Nonprofits: The Role of Foundations in Building Organizational Capacity,” by Heather B. Weiss and Priscilla D. Little of the Harvard Family Research Project; “A New Day for Youth: Creating Sustainable Quality in Out of School Time,” by Harvard researcher Gil G. Noam; “A View from the Field: Helping Community Organizations Meet Capacity Challenges,” by Lucy N. Friedman, president of The After-School Corporation, a New York City-based nonprofit.
