OST-LI Mission:
The New Mexico Out-of-School Time Leadership Institute (OST-LI) mission is to increase access to out-of-school time (OST) programs across New Mexico by providing high-quality professional development for emerging out-of-school time leaders working in underserved and vulnerable New Mexico communities.
OST-LI Project Vision:
Many OST provider organizations in New Mexico lack key professional development and capacity building support for their leaders and staff. They are often expensive, and subsequently out-of-reach for many OST provider organizations. NMOST addresses this need through the development of the first Out-of-School Time Leadership Institute in New Mexico. This institute provides emerging leaders in OST provider organizations skills in:
-
Leadership development and coaching, advocacy, program planning, system building, program and evaluation, partnership building, social and emotional learning, cultural relevance, fundraising, and youth development.
What is the OST-LI Spring Series?
OST-LI Spring Training Series is a FREE 5 part professional development opportunity for individuals, providers, and community members working with children and youth in the out-of-school time space. By offering this series, NMOST hopes to build a stronger and more interconnected OST community. Register for one session, or register for all five below! Please note that you must register for each session separately.

Nurtured Heart Approach (2 Part Training)
Wednesday, May 5 & Friday, May 7 (9am - 12:15pm MT)
A two part training presented by All Faiths Children’s Advocacy Center
Trainer: Donna Lucero MA, LPCC, NCC & Juliet Kinkade-Black, LMFT
The Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) is a curriculum for relationship. It supports adults in relating to children in ways that guide them to use their intensity successfully and positively. Through the NHA, children come to see their intensity as fuel for greatness, not as a deficit or a handicap. Originally developed for working with the most challenging children, the NHA works to awaken the greatness inherent in all children. Rather than acting out negatively, children begin to act out their greatness – and adults get to experience the joy of being a highly effective agent of change in the lives of children.
