New Jersey’s Annual Conference on Afterschool and Out-of-School Time (OST) 2025 celebrates long-term success in the ever-changing landscape of Afterschool, S.T.E.A.M. and Expanded Learning. The conference, taking place on Friday and Saturday, April 4 and 5, 2025, features dozens of workshops aimed at improving the quality of afterschool and out-of-school time programs.
