School’s Out on DCTV

As the District’s go-to source for after-school tips, resources and strategies, the Trust has launched a new partnership with the Public Access Corporation of the District of Columbia (DCTV) to showcase the best in after-school and summer programs.

School’s Out! airs on Comcast 96, RCN 11 and Verizon Fios 28. Some of the episodes showcase the youth developmental outcomes that the Trust and its grantees want young people to acquire – the attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors that we want young people to achieve to be healthy, caring and responsible youth and adults. Other episodes highlight best practices for out-of-school time (OST) program providers, including strategies for infusing learning standards into OST, parent engagement and combating summer learning loss.

The first two shows tackled two of those outcomes: “membership and belonging” and “safety and structure.” Upcoming topics include recruitment/retention strategies, conflict resolution skills and community engagement. Each show includes discussions with local providers, highlighting the wonderful work being done in neighborhoods across the District.
