New Strategy Guide on Strengthening Partnerships and Building Public Will for Out-of-School Time Programs

With support from The Wallace Foundation, the YEF Institute has developed the third of a series of strategy guides to help municipal leaders build citywide systems of high-quality out-of-school time programs. Strengthening Partnerships and Building Public Will for Out-of-School Time Programs describes three key strategies that mayors and other city leaders can use to generate support for access to high-quality out-of-school time activities:

• Engage a broad set of partners to take full advantage of all community
resources;
• Keep out-of-school time on the public agenda
• Lead efforts by city, school and community leaders to establish a common set of outcomes and a shared vision for out-of-school time.
