Partnership Quick Connections: Part VII — Strategies to Sustain a Multi-Organization Out-of-School Time Collaborative

This webinar is Part VII in a Series of Quick Connections videos highlighting strategies and tools to build and strengthen school-community partnerships, co-sponsored by School’s Out Washington and YDEKC.

We were in conversation with Diana Lian, Youth Engagement Program Supervisor for Neighborhood House and Jamie Harres, Youth Development Specialist at Cascade Middle School, who are partners in a Best Starts for Kids Out-of-School Time Collaborative in Auburn. We spoke with them about some of the practices that support their multi-organization and cross-sector partnership, including relationship building, event co-design, and documentation.
