Check out these resources from our 2020 APOST Virtual Back to Out-of-School Time Conference! In the upcoming weeks, we will have recordings, slides or additional resources for each presentation of the conference to help you recap and spread best practices with others as you prepare for fall programming. This page will continue to be updated until the conference has concluded.
If you attended any session during the conference and have a moment, please fill out this quick survey for us so we know how we can improve moving forward. If you have any questions or concerns, please email jaron.paul@unitedwayswpa.org. We look forward to continuing to provide you with relevant professional development opportunities.
