What is the Maine Out of School Time Conference?

The Maine Out of School Time Conference hosted by the Maine Afterschool Network, is a conference tailored to meet the unique needs of Out-of-School-Time professionals and those who support them. 100-200 Youth serving professionals from around the state gather together in the scenic mountains of Maine to learn, network, and share best practices.

This event is intended to reignite passion in youth working professionals, provide skills to enhance high quality programming, and offer tools and resources that will inspire folks to create positive change. During this conference participants will also be guided through a journey of self discovery, examining key moments in their out of school time journey, thinking about their why, and learning steps they can take to ensure job quality standards for the out of school time field.

Why Become a Sponsor?

Maine faces a growing workforce gap, with thousands of skilled jobs projected to go unfilled in the coming years, and afterschool programs are a powerful part of the solution. The Maine Afterschool Network connects over 700 programs serving school-age children across the state, helping spark curiosity, build real-world skills, and introduce young people to future career paths. By sponsoring the MOST (Maine Out-of-School Time) Conference, industry leaders can connect directly with afterschool professionals, and play a vital role in preparing the next generation of Maine’s workforce.
