Quality programs offer a variety of activities that are active, developmentally appropriate, and culturally sensitive to enrich the physical, social, emotional and creative development of all participants. The program has identified their desired youth outcomes and has directly connected program activities to those goals.
Quality programs purposefully create a welcoming environment. Programs develop, nurture, and maintain positive relationships and interactions among participants and staff while creating a sense of security, belonging, and ownership.
Quality programs promote a sense of purpose and individual empowerment in youth through opportunities to engage in a rich variety of experiences, participate in planning, and exercise choice and leadership as well as implement and evaluate program activities.
Due to recent Federal Government mandates, we have removed the "Responsiveness to Culture and Identity" Quality Building Block and its associated resources from the Idaho Out-of-School Network website. This decision aligns with the updated federal guidelines and ensures compliance with current regulations. While the specific resources under this building block are no longer available, we remain committed to fostering supportive and welcoming environments for all children, families, and providers in out-of-school programs across Idaho. We encourage programs to continue prioritizing practices that value and respect the unique needs of the communities they serve, even as we adapt to meet evolving federal requirements. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Quality programs create a safe and adaptive environment which recognizes that culture, family and personal history is core to a young person’s identity formation. The program is respectful and responsive to the diversity of program participants, their families, and community.
Quality programs communicate their value to and connect with the wider community. Programs establish and maintain strong working partnerships with families, schools, and community stakeholders.
Quality programs are effective organizations with a coherent mission, well-developed systems, and sound fiscal management to support and enhance quality programming and activities for all participants.
Quality programs ensure competent, motivated, youth-centered staff and volunteers through effective orientation, training, and a philosophy that values continued professional development.
