OneStar: CASE for Kids Out of School Time Sustainability

Houston and its surrounding communities are in need of engaging individuals who are ready to mobilize resources in order to support the youth of city. The time is now to create solutions for Houston’s at-risk youth to have a brighter future. AmeriCorps VISTAs will help educate community members on how to prepare students for academic success; give partners the tools to create or sustain out-of-school-time (OST) programs; and provide sustainable solutions for high quality programs that yield positive outcomes for students and adults in the communities served. All of which will provide long-term solutions for education and economic empowerment. Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) was established in 1889 by the Texas legislature to equalize educational opportunities for children in the greater Houston area. Throughout its history, HCDE's programs have evolved to meet the changing needs of students and educators. The Center for Afterschool, Summer and Expanded Learning (CASE for Kids), is a division dedicated to supporting high quality (OST) programming to over 7,000 students each year. CASE for Kids helps communities by build collaborative partnerships to support at-risk students and their families; and educate elected officials, foundations and businesses on the importance of sustaining effective programs.
