Philadelphia Out of School Time

Out-of-School Time (OST) is at its essence the set of care and programming for school-age children in grades K to 12th grade that occurs during non-school hours. Within this project, this is predominantly after school programming from school dismissal till about 6 p.m. and 6 weeks of full-day summer camp.

OST programming is part of the City of Philadelphia’s continuum of prevention programs and activities designed to contribute to the overall well-being and safety of youth through access to services that promote their healthy, physical, social, educational, and emotional development.

Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC) serves on as the Administrative Intermediary for the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Children and Families (OCF).
