Mission:  To create, strengthen and sustain a statewide system of support for quality out-of-school time programs.

The New Mexico Out-of-School Time Network (NMOST) brings together policymakers, educators, childcare providers, youth development workers, and other stakeholders interested in ensuring positive youth development opportunities and outcomes through out-of-school time programs. To ensure a viable and sustained network structure in the state, NMOST established a leadership council with diverse members from across the state whose role it is to guide the implementation of a statewide strategic plan focused on out-of-school time program quality, public awareness of the benefits of a quality out-of-school time experience, advocacy and policy development, professional development, linked learning strategies, and partnership development to increase the network base.
