City of Philadelphia partners with Cityspan to integrate OST Community

The City of Philadelphia has selected Cityspan to implement a data management system that will track out-of-school time attendance and outcomes for more than 150,000 youth annually across 400 program locations.  Participating city departments and local nonprofits include:

• Department of Human Services
• Philadelphia Parks & Recreation
• Free Library of Philadelphia
• Managing Director’s Office
• After School Activities Partnerships
• Philadelphia OST Literacy Initiative
• 21st Century Community Learning Centers

In addition to tracking attendance and outcomes, the system will expand access to services by allowing Parks & Recreation and Free Library participants to search and register for activities through an online program locator. A flexible reporting environment will give Philadelphia tools to evaluate service delivery needs and make data driven decisions regarding the distribution public resources.
