Neighborhood Schools Project

After-School and Summer Youth Programs Subcommittee

Goal 1. Facilitating and Developing the Community Collaborative and Partnership

The after-school and summer youth programs subcommittee wants to strengthen relationships amongst all members of the community, from parents/neighbors to the organizations to the staff at OSU. We want to strengthen the ties between each and also provide structure that maximizes all involved parties’ time and effort. We also strive to strengthen the relationships between other youth outreach efforts and the P-12 Project with this subcommittee.

Goal 2. Increasing Parent Involvement and Leadership

The after-school and summer youth programs subcommittee wants to increase parent involvement and community participation in schools and youth organizations, and also provide information to these parties as to the best practices to do this. We also want to develop a support network through Time! Dollar Programs at Medary Elementary and Indianola Middle Schools so that no parent or resident in the community feels isolated.

Goal 3. Enhancing Quality Youth Development Program

The after-school and summer youth programs subcommittee strives to nurture the connections between schools and out-of-school programs, mostly through the creation of teacher liaison positions in schools. The subcommittee also wants to provide support to the funders of youth development programs and the programs themselves, and create marketing tools that can help recruit additional resources and advocate for youth development programs.
