Collective for Youth’s vision is to develop a community of thriving afterschool partners who are empowered to ignite the imagination and grow the minds of youth. No matter what door a child walks into for an out-of-school time (OST) program, it should be a high quality experience. Collective for Youth’s mission is to lead and support a network of high quality out-of-school programs that inspire and engage youth, stimulating academic and personal growth. It is our vision that all youth have expanded learning opportunities that ignite the imagination, grow the mind, and provide the foundation for success in school and life. These hands on experiences are opening doors for children every day.
