Share your OST promising practices! 

By Nirja Shah

There are 2 opportunities to spotlight the great work you are doing to promote health and wellness in OST:

  1. NAA’s AfterSchool Today publication is looking for contributors for their fall issue, reach out to heidi@naaweb.org if you are interested. This issue of AfterSchool Today will spotlight the powerful voices of afterschool professionals and youth who are standing up, speaking out, and leading the way toward a brighter future. From grassroots organizing and storytelling to mentorship, civic engagement, and systemic change, this issue will celebrate how the afterschool field champions advocacy both for afterschool — elevating its value and impact — and in afterschool — by equipping young people and adults alike to lead, influence, and act. 
  2. CAHE-OST is interested in elevating the work of OST professionals who are promoting the health and wellness of youth and staff. Do you have a successful strategy or put a new practice into place that you want to share with other OST professionals? Did you launch a new initiative, project, or policy that had a positive impact and you want to share more broadly? Share your story with us here
