AJE wants to make sure that families are aware of this opportunity to share their voice and experiences with out-of-school-time (afterschool and/or summer) programming.  See below from the Office of Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes (OST Office).

We Want to Hear From You! Take Our Survey!

Your voice matters! As a parent/guardian of a school-aged child or youth (K-12th Grade) living in the District of Columbia, we would like to understand your needs, interests, and any barriers to your child’s participation in out-of-school-time (afterschool and/or summer) programming, for the purpose of continuous improvement. Help us improve OST programs and funding by taking a few minutes to complete the OST Family Survey. Your feedback helps us better support your child’s learning and growth. Thank you for being a vital part of our community! Click here.
