In this report, Harvard researcher Gil G. Noam asserts that the ability of out-of-school time (OST) providers to offer high-quality OST programming rests on strong leadership, staffing and their activities for children. Noam advocates more leadership and management training for OST executive leaders; training for OST staffers, in establishing strong relationships with young people; and assistance in establishing clear learning goals for students.
