YSS continually gathers resources and research to help program providers strengthen and expand after school and summer youth programs.

ost data portal

The OST Data Portal provides a secure platform where organizations who submit their program information and rosters have their own password-protected unique dashboards/visualizations that illustrate the impact they are having on students’ lives. The dashboards not only relieve OSTs of extra work and time they could spend interacting more with students, but it also allows these organizations to track and report concrete outcomes to funders.
