Strengthening OST Through Family Connection and Communication
One of the first focus areas in our Quality Practices Guide highlights the importance of safe, supportive relationships between youth, staff, and families.
Why? When families feel connected to the programs their children participate in, it strengthens the entire community. These relationships build trust, encourage open communication, and create a more nurturing environment where youth can thrive.
These tips offer practical tools to help you build community and strengthen those bonds in your program.
