Child Outcomes are a measure of the benefit children experience through their participation in OST programming; use these resources to help get you started.  If you need additional support or have questions - fill out our Request Technical Assistance form in Quick Links.

For deeper learning on this subject, consider enrolling in our course Designing and Assessing Child Outcomes.  Course availability can be found on our landing page.
