Afterschool/Out-of-school time describes the hours when youth are not in school. This is the time when children are most likely to be unsupervised. The odds are high that children or youth with nothing positive to do and nowhere to go will find things to do that may negatively influence their development and futures. Out-of-school time service-learning projects can provide opportunities for children to be engaged in supervised learning activities during these non-school hours. Following are some of our most relevant resources for this topic.
