Careers in Afterschool

As a connector in the out-of-school time (OST) field, Prime Time uses its weekly e-newsletter to inform more than 2,500 subscribers of opportunities to advance the field, highlights from local OST programs and resources worth sharing with friends and families. Prime Time wants to hear your stories and news regarding the out-of-school time field. Please email details to communications@primetimepbc.org
Select "Prime Time Palm Beach County" as the charity of your choice through Amazon Smile and Amazon will donate .5% of your eligible purchases to Prime Time at no cost to you.
Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
Providers/Individuals Wanted for Community Empowerment Program in Riviera Beach, Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay 
Application Coming Soon
Prime Time Palm Beach County seeks individual contractors or organizations who can deliver direct service programming to youth residing in Riviera Beach, Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay, Florida, that is intended to supplement, not replace, existing out-of-school time programming. 
It will take youth 10 to 15 minutes, on average, to complete the survey. A team of 22 youth from all over the country developed and refined the survey instrument, developed with support from the C.S Mott Foundation.
Please Circulate Survey to Youth in Your Summer Programs
The National Youth Survey issued by Every Hour Counts and Youthprise aims to better understand:

  • What young people find meaningful about their current experiences in their afterschool programs
  • What is missing that youth would find meaningful in afterschool programs
  • How afterschool programs can be more meaningful in young people’s lives
  • Why is it important?

The survey is open for 12-19-year-old youth (7-12 graders) throughout the U.S. and closes on July 15, 2022.
