Here’s your chance to make a real difference for out-of-school time (OST) programs! The American Institutes for Research (AIR), with support from the Wallace Foundation and in collaboration with the Afterschool Alliance and the National Afterschool Association, is updating the OST cost calculator—a tool that helps ensure OST programs have the resources they need to thrive.

We need your help to make sure programs like yours are included in this study. If you work with or know of any OST programs, please take a few minutes to complete the Program Survey. By participating, you’ll be helping AIR gather essential data, and completed surveys may be eligible to receive a $50 gift card for your time!

Important Guidelines for Completing

  • Share the survey via email or newsletter, but do NOT share on social media or other public sites. This helps ensure the integrity of the data by limiting participation to reputable programs for those that choose to share the survey.

  • Programs should indicate which organization shared the survey with them. If you forward the program survey, please ask recipients to note [insert network name here] as the organization they received it from when completing the survey.
