2020 OST in KY Maps - Kentucky Out-of-School Alliance

An extensive body of research has shown that out-of-school time programs help:

Excite children about learning
Teach important workforce skills
Provide nutritious meals and opportunities to be physically active
Reduce the likelihood that youth will engage in risky behaviors
