Eighty percent of a child’s waking hours are spent outside the classroom, and students who participate in out of school time (OST) programs are better prepared for strong futures. TXPOST is committed to fostering and facilitating strategic collaboration and public investment to:

• Drive equity and create opportunities for marginalized youth;
• Promote whole-child development within and beyond the sector; and
• Support OST professionals in their own career journeys.

OST is closing the opportunity gap so that, together, we can build communities where every child in Texas is supported and fulfilled. Read more in TXPOST’s 2020-2023 strategic plan.
