About OST
At Out-of-School Time Essentials (OST), we believe that every adult who interacts with children and youth has the power to make a meaningful impact.
Whether you're a parent, grandparent, babysitter, youth pastor, sports coach, Sunday School teacher, or any other mentor, your role in shaping the lives of young people is invaluable.
OST exists to support and equip you with the tools, knowledge, and strategies to create positive, engaging, and developmentally enriching experiences for the youth in your care.
Our Mission
To create a world where every child and youth is inspired, supported, and empowered by the caring adults in their lives—no matter where those relationships take place.
Our Vision
To equip, empower, and support non-traditional educators and mentors with practical strategies, essential knowledge, and valuable resources that help children and youth thrive, grow, and realize their full potential in a rapidly changing world.
