BOOST Scholarship Fund

The BOOST Scholarship Fund is designed to support professionals that work with children and youth in the out-of-school time hours.  Through this Scholarship Fund, we are able to offer quality professional development opportunities for teachers, after school workers, non-profits, and community-based organizations such as YMCA’s and Boys & Girls Clubs.  It is imperative that these professionals participate in learning opportunities to enhance their own development and thus provide enriched environments, improvement, and change for children, youth, families, and communities.

Scholarship recipients will attend the BOOST (Best of Out-of-School Time) Conference April 27- April 30, 2011 in Palm Springs, CA.  BOOST is the largest convening of out-of-school time professionals in the nation and aims to improve out-of-school time programs through both individual and organizational development.
