Out of School Time
The Out of School Time (OST) program supports elementary students in North Philadelphia. Our centers provide a safe and nurturing environment for kids to focus on their schoolwork.
History of OST
Since 2003, we’ve hosted after-school programs and summer camps in the heart of North Philadelphia.
In August 2020, we started running our programs in city-owned places like recreation centers, libraries, and public housing facilities to keep everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. The School District of Philadelphia is an essential partner to ensure kids and families can access critical resources.
Our Access Centers
Our centers are open every day from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM to help kids with their schoolwork and provide rigorous STEM and literacy enrichment activities. We also offer free meals, social and emotional support.
Locations
Our main Access Center is at TM Peirce 2300 W Cambria St, Philadelphia, PA 19132 & the William Dick School at 2498 W Diamond St, Philadelphia, PA 19121
Eligibility
We welcome children enrolled in kindergarten to 6th grade who attend public school in North Philadelphia.
