organizations throughout New York City. These include 558 contracts that comprise the Citywide Out-of-School Time (OST) initiative.
OST offers a balanced mix of academic support, sports/recreational activities, the arts and cultural experiences, which take
place after school, on weekends, and during school vacations; 464 programs to help low-income individuals and families become
more economically self-sufficient; and 36 adult literacy programs that teach English skills to assist participants to further
their education or to advance their careers. The Department also administers a network of 80 Beacon community centers in public
schools that serve youth, adults and families during out-of-school hours. Through a range of programs, DYCD contractors assist
immigrants to become naturalized citizens. In addition, DYCD implements and oversees the City's youth workforce development
program, providing summer employment and year round services to introduce youth and young adults to the job market and help
them develop the skills to succeed. DYCD is also responsible for the City’s runaway and homeless youth programs.
