What is ACROSS NH?
ACROSS NH is a project dedicated to supporting out-of-school time (OST) professionals in their work to create high quality, innovative programs for New Hampshire’s school age children. Thanks to funding from the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services and the Bureau of Child Development and Head Start Collaboration, we provide technical assistance and professional development opportunities to out of school time providers throughout the year.
What Does ACROSS NH Do?
ACROSS NH provides New Hampshire out-of-school time (OST) providers with training and technical assistance (TA). We provide a fall and spring conference, year round training, and support for program quality and continuous quality improvement. TA may be in the form of consultation, coaching and mentoring, and program design and review. ACROSS NH trainers and consultants hold a NH After School Master Professional credential.
What's New
The State of Out-of-School Time in New Hampshire:
Literature Reviews
We wanted to find a way to provide more programs more access to more information. Therefore, Plymouth State University Faculty Member Hilary Swank engaged in a process to collect and distill the available research. These Literature Reviews are intended as a tool for programs looking to bolster their work with research-based evidence. There are two Literature Reviews, one on Professional Development in Out-of-School Time and one on Program Quality.
