NJSACC's Technical Assistance Specialist Dorine Francis Shares Her Thoughts on Afterschool!
Dorine Francis writes: “The world of Out-of-School Time, OST, is nothing short of amazing! Whether it be a traditional afterschool program, a Saturday program, or a 6-week summer camp, the opportunity for youth to explore interests and learn new skills in a safe space while simultaneously supporting working families is truly empowering. OST fuels exposure to and builds creativity, confidence, and careers for all youth as well as the professionals in the field.
NJSACC has the honor of advocating, coaching, and supporting the field of OST, and I have the pleasure of being a piece to the bigger picture as I know the impact OST had in making me who I am. ”
