In 2020, given the Movement for Black Lives, the rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans, immigrants, and members of the transgender community, and numerous injustices that, while not new, were finally being recognized more broadly, the National Afterschool Association (NAA) doubled down its focus on building equity, access, and connections. As the youth development field evolves, so does NAA. One result of this effort is this revision of the NAA Core Knowledge and Competencies (CKCs) for Out-of-School Time Professionals with an eye toward equity and culturally responsive practices.
