Results of Out-of-School
Time Member Survey

L

ast fall, we asked members to complete a short survey about programs
and activities offered by park and recreation agencies for school-aged children during out-of-school time (before school, after school or during the
summer). Representatives of 339 agencies responded to questions on a variety
of topics relating to the types of programs offered, the content of the programs,
standards for physical activity and healthy eating, logistics, and challenges related
to offering out-of-school time programs. Below are a few survey highlights:
‡ Nearly all responding agencies
(98.8 percent) offer summer programs for children and youth
‡ Most commonly offered summer programs: group and individual sports
‡ Most agencies (79.6 percent) provide after-school programs
‡ Most commonly offered after-school programs: homework
help, sports and fitness
‡ Most agencies (69.5 percent) have
standards for physical activity in
out-of-school time programs
‡ Many agencies (42.1 percent) have
standards for healthy eating in outof-school time programs
‡ Many agencies work with local schools
to provide nature and environmental
programming during the school day

more will be directed to a local park
chosen by each individual store. Additionally, Macy's will match the first
$250,000 raised, dollar for dollar.
NRPA is working with Macy's to assist with program logistics, confirm
participation of selected parks and
help direct donations at the conclusion of the program. The association
is pleased to partner with Macy's to
raise awareness and connect people with their community parks. To

through student field trips (24.3 percent), provider visits to schools (16.6
percent) or both (42.6 percent)
‡ Major barriers to participation in
out-of-school time programs include cost, transportation, competition from other activity providers,
space or facility limitations, and
interest from students and families
in programs
NRPA's Partnership and Business
Development department will use
this information to help make the
case to potential funders that support
is needed to expand and enrich outof-school time opportunities in local
park and recreation agencies.
