We’re glad you’re here! This space is designed for OST professionals in Philadelphia to share ideas, ask questions, celebrate successes, and problem-solve challenges together. Our goal is to build a supportive community where everyone can learn and grow.
To keep this community safe, respectful, and productive, please follow these guidelines:
• Be respectful: Treat all members with kindness. Diverse perspectives are welcome—personal attacks, disrespectful language, or offensive content are not.
• Stay on topic: Keep discussions relevant to OST practice, leadership, youth development, and related professional topics.
• Protect privacy: Do not share personal or sensitive information about students, families, or colleagues. Respect confidentiality at all times.
• Share responsibly: When posting resources, tools, or articles, give proper credit to authors and provide links when possible.
• Engage constructively: Ask questions, offer feedback, and contribute in ways that build understanding and community.
• No promotions: Please avoid posting advertisements, solicitations, or self-promotion unless directly related to OST learning and approved by moderators.
• Be curious: Remember that members come from many backgrounds and contexts. Approach discussions with curiosity and openness.
Let’s use this space to support one another, strengthen OST programs, and keep the focus on what matters most – helping young people thrive.
