This year VPOST is taking our annual conference on the road! Rather than hosting one state-wide event, we are leaning into our goal to strengthen and establish local OST networks, by hosting local mini-conferences! Our traveling conference, Paving the Way: Connecting Out-of-School Time Locally and Across Virginia was created to intentionally be more accessible to OST staff by bringing professional development to your backyards at a more affordable rate! Strong local networks create points of connection and establish channels for communication and collaboration across the Commonwealth. We are stronger when we act together and local-to-state networks allow us to push in the same direction for positive change. We hope you will join us in building community and connection at VPOST 15th annual conference, Paving the Way: Connecting Out-of-School Time Locally and Across Virginia.
