Building Quality + Access + Support
OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME COLLABORATIVE
OST PARTNERS
SAM’s OST Collaborative is a voluntary, incentive-driven, opt-in network created for the purpose of achieving better results for young people in Spartanburg County through improving, expanding, and sustaining high-quality afterschool and summer programming for youth.
Collaborative Partners are organizations/programs that have adopted the OST Collaborative Vision and Mission, are working to support the Collaborative’s 5-year Goal, and agree to the Collaborative’s shared principles. Partners are working to complete and validate the minimum member standards.
Partners are listed below. Those who have completed Fundamentals for Youth-Serving Providers training provided by the Child Protection Training Center, a key element of the OST Membership Agreement, are noted below with an asterix (*). Click on each organization's name to be directed to its website for more detailed information about youth-serving programs provided.
