The Out-of-School Time Leader's Guide to Equitable Hiring and Staff Development Practices
Because the OST sector is rooted in the principles of youth development including creating safe and welcoming spaces for all young people, the sector is primed to be a leader in using similar philosophies to enact equitable hiring and staff development practices.
