Inequity is commonly associated with groups that suffer from discrimination related to their race, ethnicity, nationality, language, religion, class, gender, sexual orientation, or disabilities. Out-of-School Time (OST) programs and organizations can explore implementing accountability strategies to help reduce inequities that are a result of limited access to resources and services. The Equity Planning Checklist is designed to support OST programs and organizations in fully assessing policies and practices that foster equity. This checklist includes guiding questions to consider during system-wide equity planning and implementation. |
