It has been a pleasure to serve as the president of the Prime Time Board of Directors as I end my five-year tenure in this position and take on the role of vice president. I am proud of the organization’s work, paicularly in these untested times. Fellow long-time board member Dr. Alison Adler has assumed leadership of the board and will continue to guide Prime Time as we all reimagine the world post-pandemic. Each of the board members has been suppoive during this difficult year and remained commied to the organization and our mission. I thank you all. Clearly, this fiscal year was not “business as usual” and Prime Time’s funders were understandable, flexible and suppoive. The Board of Directors owes a debt of gratitude to each of them for allowing for adjustments in the new environment: The Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County, Palm Beach County Youth Services Depament, The Frederick A. DeLuca Foundation and the Wallace Foundation. Thank you for continuing to believe in the mission and suppo the excellent work that the staff at Prime Time accomplish every day. That leads me to the hea of the organization: the Prime Time team. As you will see throughout this repo, the Prime Time team showed its agility and resourcefulness in how it addressed the challenges that COVID-19 presented to our field. The organization’s very hands-on approach had to be modified for a viual world and it was done. Coaching continued, trainings continued and Prime Time even expanded its reach to serve additional audiences with fun and educational activities through our myriad of content paners, who also rose to the occasion and swily adapted their offering in a viual space. This gives me hope for our field and community as we face the challenges ahead together. Dr. Nate Nichols President, Board of Directors New Activity!Prime Time Palm Beach CountyI like how Prime Time went with the times. No maer how we serve.– OST PractitionerOn October 1, 2019, Prime Time Palm Beach County entered a new fiscal year with plans to deliver high-quality suppos and services to out-of-school time programs and children and youth whom we serve. We could never have anticipated what was to come soon aer the new year began. In February 2020, Prime Time witnessed the world begin to change overnight as the headlines from every media outlet rang the alarm about COVID-19. As the pandemic spread, Prime Time took action to ensure we were still able to meet the needs of our OST community. In March 2020, as online learning increased globally in response to school closures and COVID-19 disruptions, Prime Time adapted to the needs of the OST field with the suppo of the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County. Prime Time redesigned its offerings so children could continue experiencing learning oppounities, practitioners could continue their professional development and OST programs could continue to pursue high quality. This annual repo is more than a publication to inform our stakeholders of Prime Time’s accomplishments and financials; it’s a story. A story that illustrates the resiliency and empathy of our OST practitioners, our paners, funders, Board of Directors and staff in difficult times. This annual repo captures the dedication and compassion that is the OST field. Suzette L. Harvey President/CEO 4

Support for Out-of-School Time Programs Prime Time works with out-of-school time (OST) programs that are paicipants of the Palm Beach County Quality Improvement System (QIS) to maintain or increase their program quality. Using the Palm Beach County Quality Standards for Aerschool as the foundation for the work, Prime Time guides OST program directors, program managers and staff in identifying and implementing oppounities to improve the overall quality of the program.Prime Time served 148 paicipating QIS programs, which served more than 17,000 school-age youth and more than 1,700 middle school-age youth during the 2019-2020 fiscal year.

Support for Out-of-School Time Programs Prime Time Offers Viual Summer Camp Suppos Calendar Six hundred twenty-two youth aended more than 139 viual sessions. Viual Readiness SupposSixty-four programs serving 2,507 youth received grants totaling $59,629.Beginning in March 2020, Prime Time connected with the Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County to expand its reach during the pandemic. Thiy-seven early care and education centers with five or more school-aged youth received suppo from Prime Time’s quality advisors with resources, oppounities and a listening ear during rapidly changing times. Amid COVID-19, many summer camps shied their offerings by either closing their doors or reinventing their camps. Prime Time worked with more than 600 youth at Palm Beach County summer camps and early care and learning centers so they could receive access to a viual summer camp, including live suppo and a menu of scheduled activities that practitioners could tune into via Zoom video sessions. Live Zoom session topics included social emotional learning, as, STEAM and activities delivered in Spanish and Creole. As out-of-school time programs pivoted to provide families with safe spaces to send their children to while school buildings were closed, Prime Time offered a Viual Readiness Suppos Grant Initiative to provide funding to programs in need of program supplies, viual technology suppos, cleaning supplies and personal protective equipment. prime_time_pbcPrimary Learning Academy aended Intro to Spanish, a one-hour Prime Time-facilitated session for children in grades K-2 to learn greetings in Spanish. …not only will these items increase our staff members’ and youths’ capacity to learn and grow, but it will also help out with much needed cleaning and sanitizing protocols that have been increased during the past seven months…– OST PractitionerAll of the materials will help us enhance students’ experiences academically, socially, emotionally and physically.– OST Practitioner8
Support for Out-of-School Time Professionals Prime Time offers an array of professional development resources and networking oppounities to inspire and educate out-of-school time (OST) professionals, so they are skilled and confident in providing engaging and suppoive environments for children and youth. Prime Time continued to employ rigorous quality assurance measures and the highest standards of quality for each training offering. As a result, Prime Time received approval to continue offering International Accreditors for Continue Education and Trainings (IACET)-accredited Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for its viual offerings. This has provided continuity of our offerings and has allowed practitioners the oppounity to use these CEUs toward various credential renewals. In 2019-2020, Prime Time awarded 52.8 CEUs to out-of-school time practitioners. These trainings have allowed me the oppounity to connect with staff and learn from my peers in ways I would not have been able to during the school year, as these sessions are not usually conducive to my schedule. The topics focused on have made me think and plan in ways that will beer my OST program and enhance the relationship between OST and school day staff, allowing for more cohesion for students. - OST Practitioner Egret Lake Elementary Aerschool Program Amid COVID-19, Prime Time continued the momentum of giving OST professionals the tools they need to feel empowered to create safe, suppoive and welcoming environments, and to encourage positive social interactions with youth whether in-person or viual. Prime Time transitioned from offering in-person trainings to offering trainings via Zoom while offering stipends to aerschool practitioners who successfully completed a training or series. It became extremely impoant to provide incentivized oppounities to keep practitioners engaged and learning, provide tools for stress management and help to prepare for working with youth in a viual environment, as well as to provide connection. This was all done with a focus on preserving the newly displaced field of practitioners.prime_time_pbcDuring March-May 2020, 82% of OST practitioners surveyed repoed that their OST program was at risk of employees being laid off or employees finding other employment oppounities due to COVID-19. Thanks to the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County, Prime Time was able to award a total of $67,410 in stipends to practitioners who successfully completed Prime Time’s professional development trainings to help with the financial burden the global pandemic has had on the field. 9
Prime Time began offering a number of trainings in both live and self-paced formats. This allowed practitioners to make choices based on their schedules and preferences. The first of these offerings was the Progressive Aerschool Practitioner training. This training encourages the development of an Individual Career Plan. Follow-up suppo is provided to each aendee to ensure that an appropriate training path and planning is created. Prime Time also developed new trainings that were offered in the 2019-2020 fiscal year: New Trainings Offered in 2019-2020Integrating SEL and Mindfulness in OST Activities - a training that offers simple and effective strategies to integrate social and emotional learning skills in any viual session using signature practices. Paicipants also learn how to use mindfulness tools to get their audience grounded, self-aware, mentally focused and emotionally ready to engage in any activity. Keeping Connected: Facilitating Online Learning – a training that introduces practitioners to the basics of the Zoom and Google Classroom online plaorms, offering tips, tricks and resources for engaging youth in these formats. Ignite the Spark through Project-Based Learning – a training that teaches practitioners how to empower youth to develop their own projects based on their interests and curiosity. The Power of Circles - a training for practitioners to learn how Circles in the OST environment can help build the relationships and skills youth need to suppo one another and successfully face challenges. An introduction to Restorative Circles, Responsive Meetings and employing an equity lens are also included. Walking in Purpose - a training that helps practitioners examine and define their purpose as it relates to the OST field and helps them to shi thoughts and aitudes as they envision their own success. Adult SEL Series - an eight-pa, live online professional learning series designed to deepen intra- and inter-personal adult SEL skills through experiential and reflective practices of professionals working with children and youth. Practitioners are taken through a process of self-discovery and personal growth, while instilling the impoance of habitual daily self-care and mindfulness practice. The Seven-Day Self-Care Challenge - a viual on-demand series designed to provide basic practice tools that can help to cultivate awareness, self-care, empathy and resilience, paicularly during challenging times. The series was launched as a resource on the Prime Time website for families and community, and was promoted on social media and on the websites of local and national OST and SEL paners. There have been more than 1,400 visits to the page. As someone who normally worries about everything and doesn’t take time for herself, this seriously has helped me a lot. It’s taught me to find even a few minutes each day to relax, think, breathe and know that I am woh that time. I will surely continue to practice all the exercises that I have learned.Prime Time’s SEL specialist also hosted her first Facebook Live session event on SEL, Mindfulness and Mental Health on Get your Green on Day with more than 900 views.10

Thank you, Prime Time! - Tiffany OST PractitionerHaving been a pa of the Human Services-Youth Development program for my A.S. degree has been monumental in my professional career in the aerschool field. The knowledge and experience I gained as well as the incredible professors and fellow practitioners who mentored me throughout my journey have been some of the biggest takeaways that I will treasure always. This program grounded me in my beliefs and values for the aerschool profession and fueled my desire to complete the bachelor’s degree next! - Stacey OST PractitionerSupport for Out-of-School Time Professionals I truly appreciate the trainings offered during COVID-19. The environment was as if we were at in-person trainings because the space was comfoable and everybody engaged with each other. - OST Practitioner 11
I use the strategies from the Prime Time trainings in dealing with staff motivation, youth having a voice and self-care. I love the takeaways and having other professionals share their experiences and different techniques they use.- OST Practitioner In early May 2020, Prime Time Palm Beach County held its first-ever viual meetings with teens from four local teen advisory councils (groups of youth who take on genuine leadership roles to help an organization, school or community group achieve its mission). The purpose of the viual meetings was to provide suppo and a safe space for the young people to voice their concerns and experiences amidst the life-changing effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Between the two meetings held, ten youth aended, along with four practitioners, a parent and two mental health therapists. A Virtual Space for Meaningful Youth VoiceA special thank you to the Palm Beach County Youth Services Depament for suppoing Prime Time’s Middle School Out-of-school Time Initiative The teens openly shared some of the issues that they and other young people, sixth to twelh grade, are currently facing. What was on the minds of these youth leaders? Youth answers:I feel like the transition to distance learning has put a lot of stress on a lot of people, especially my peers.I have a couple friends who deal with anxiety a lot. So, them being in the house a lot…being trapped in…their anxiety is geing worse. They just need ways to cope with it.Teachers are kind of giving us a lot of work” said one middle school council member, “and…sometimes we’re stressing out because we might have too much work, or we’re stressing out because sometimes the teachers forget to put the due dates and we’re not going to know when it’s due. It’s just kind of been stressful. Some of the kids probably still don’t have laptops…to do online classes, and some of them don’t know how to use the technology, too.” She continued, “Some teachers think since we’re home, we have extra time.If a sibling has to prioritize his younger sibling’s work and then he has to focus on his aer, that’s just more work.” He continued, “To add onto what [someone else] said earlier about anxiety, I see the opposite as well in ceain friends, where they’re the outgoing type and they like to just be the life of the group, and now that they’re trapped in their home, I feel like they’re feeling more depressed and lonely now.As a senior—me and a lot of other people that I know that are also seniors—it’s been very hard to finish school in general because we’re missing out on everything that we’ve been excited to get in our senior year, like grad bash, prom, graduation, senior night, senior week… We were really excited for that since freshman year, even middle school…and to have that all taken away in less than a month…it was just really hard for everyone to sink that in and on top of that, finish our work and then pick a college and make these big decisions. That’s been the hardest for me and the rest of my senior friends.Support for Out-of-School Time Professionals 12
SEL suppo activities focused on refining existing professional development offerings, developing new coaching solutions to meet ongoing needs of OST staff, youth and families, Prime Time staff and Bih to 22 community stakeholders. In addition, SEL suppo activities helped in preparing to respond to multiple scenarios upon schools reopening. For both PSELI Phase 1 and 2 sites, the SEL specialist delivered the viual live Adult SEL Eight-pa Series to 20 paicipants, currently being transformed into a blended live/self-paced program to promote sustainability and ease of paicipation. In addition, Prime Time launched and offered a self-paced online SEL Basics Onboarding one-hour training with more than 35 paicipants.

The spring 2020 survey revealed moderate to large increases compared to the previous year, in terms of the percentage of OST staff perceiving youth strengths in terms of various social and emotional skills. For example, 65% of OST staff (compared to 48% the previous year) repoed that “most” or “nearly all” youth had the ability to regulate emotions and behaviors. RAND’s evaluation of the PSELI effects will be fohcoming in 2022.Panerships for Social Emotional Learning Initiative (PSELI) is a Wallace Foundation collaborative uniting the school day and out-of-school time for improved social and emotional learning (SEL).
