A CD package that gets your community talking about keeping kids active and safe

This CD is packed with resources that can be tailored for your audience. PowerPoint presentations, discussion guides, and short video clips make a compelling argument for the importance of out-of-school time.

Making the Case for Out-of-School Time PowerPoint:

  • Cites youth development research to "make the case" for the importance of community involvement in providing supports and opportunities during out-of-school time.
  • Utilizes group discussions and activities to mobilize participants to address their local community needs.

Video clips featuring four of the most respected professionals in youth development:

Jacquelynne Eccles, Ph.D.,
University of Michigan:

  • summarizes a new report from the National Academy of Sciences,
  • describes the elements that make a youth program a positive environment

Milbrey W. McLaughlin, Ph.D.,
Stanford University:

  • reveals that the study found solid evidence that good community programs can have a big impact on the lives of youth, even those in high-risk environments.

Karen Pittman, president of the
Forum for Youth Development:

  • encourages communities to "think beyond" the current system when finding opportunities and supports for their youth.

Andrew Hahn, Ph.D.,
Brandeis University:

  • explains how public policy affects all parts of youth development and describes some of the hard choices faced in policy debates, and
  • encourages us to work together on a policy agenda that sustains the youth development movement

Out-of-School Time: A Critical Time to Develop, Learn and Grow, gives you all of these experiences and resources without the cost of a front row seat at a conference with these renowned researchers.
