Welcome to the BOSTONavigator, the place for locating Out-of-School Time programs in the City of Boston.

This exciting new resource brings together program information from a number of Sources of Data . Though this is now the most complete data available in Boston, it is actively being updated and completed by programs and sponsors around the city. Please be patient as we complete this data and please check back often to learn more about the rich array of Out-of-School Time programs available for Boston's youth.

This tool has been made possible by a collaboration between the City of Boston, BOSTnet and Boston After School & Beyond with support from the City of Boston and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

BOSTONavigator tracks programs that

1. are located in the City of Boston;
   
2. provide staff supervision for youth age 5 to 18; and
   
3. operate during out-of-school time (including before school, after school, summers, weekends and school vacations).

To find Out-of-School Time program opportunities, use the Program Locator and enter one or more of the following three fields (you must enter at least one):

• The Age of the child for which you are seeking programming;
  
• A Type of Activity which the program must offer; and/or
  
• The Zip Code in which the program must be located.

After you click “Find”, the Program Locator will show you a list of matching programs. You may then click on programs in the list presented to view or print detailed information about them including:

• Program description, goals, activities and hours of operation.
  
• Who the program serves, as well as enrollment and cost information.
  
• Program location (including a map) and contact information.

Alternatively, if you know the name of an organization or program, you can search directly for these programs using the Alternate Search by Keyword.
