SA Youth’s OST

OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME PROGRAM

Quality out-of-school (OST) time programs reduce the number of school-aged children who become involved with negative behaviors and promote academic success. SA Youth’s OST program takes place after school and during the summer for youth between the ages of 5 and 13.

Our site locations operate four to five hours during the school year and up to ten hours over the summer and select school holidays. SA Youth provides a safe place, caring adults, and positive youth development programs during the out-of-school time hours when juvenile delinquency and other risky behaviors can occur.

SA Youth Out-of-School Time Program is an Afterschool Centers on Education (ACE), administered by the Texas Education Agency (TEA), which provides a structured, safe, and supervised place for learning and social interaction.
