Afterschool Matters, n37 p7-45 2023
The place of out-of-school time programming in supporting young people's learning and growth is well established. Yet little is known about the staff and volunteers who support young people in school- and community-based afterschool programs, summer camps, national and local youth-serving organizations, and more. The Youth Fields Workforce Study is a national effort to explore, define, and elevate the work of professionals and volunteers in an expansive range of youth-serving organizations. With support from The Wallace Foundation, the American Institutes for Research (AIR) led a constellation of partners, including the National Institute on Out-of-School Time (NIOST), in this study of the youth fields workforce. A major part of the study is the Power of Us Workforce Survey, designed to learn about youth workers and their experiences in the field. This article highlights the perspectives of youth fields professionals on critical workforce issues. Each Perspective explores a single workforce issue or sector: (1) Community institutions; (2) Summer Perspective; (3) Entry points and recruitment; (4) Compensation Perspective; (5) Career pathways; and (6) Recommendations
