Steering Committee


Since its creation, POST has been guided by a Steering Committee made up of professionals working in youth serving organizations. The Steering Committee meets quarterly and has a rotating membership of approximately 60 people. The charge of this group is to partner with the POST staff to identify strategies to achieve its goals to increase the quality and quantity in out-of-school time.
