Post
Presentation title

The Wallace Foundation’s new presentation, in partnership with Edge Research and Learning Heroes, entitled Out-of-School Time Programs This Summer: Paving the Way for Children to Find Passion, Purpose & Voice – Parent, Teacher & OST Provider Perceptions discovered that after a year of pandemic-induced isolation, parents’ top priorities for their children’s summer programs are addressing their social and emotional health, providing physical outdoor activities and helping them discover their passion and purpose. These findings are based off of surveys in February and March 2021 as well as interviews and focus groups conducted earlier in December to see what parents’ top priorities for summer programs would be this summer.
