Now in its second year, Skate Day is a reminder that OST - a three-year, $200 million initiative - operates after school, throughout the summer, and during school holidays, including the winter break. Thanks to OST, tens of thousands of working parents can go to work knowing that their children are engaged in exciting academic, recreational, and cultural activities. OST consists of 550 free programs that will serve at least 65,000 young people during the 2006 school year, making it the nation’s largest municipally funded after school initiative. The programs are located in schools, community centers, and public housing and parks department facilities across the City. |
