Needs assessment of out-of-school time programs in the District of Columbia

Description:
This report describes the current landscape of out-of-school time (OST) programs in the District of Columbia. It takes stock of existing OST programs and assesses the extent to which these programs are meeting the needs of children and youth attending D.C. public and public charter schools. The report focuses on "subsidized" OST programs--programs that receive funding from the federal government, D.C. government, or private foundations. In painting this landscape, the report begins with information on OST programs, including afterschool and summer programs, collected from various providers across the city. This information formed the basis for the capacity estimates of existing programs. Next, the report defines four alternative need metrics by which to measure District's subsidized OST capacity, based on different potential policy goals. By comparing current capacity with these four levels of estimated need, one can broadly identify gaps in OST program capacity for different age groups and across different wards of the city.
