In Virginia, there are 163,864 children alone and unsupervised after school. For every child enrolled in an afterschool program, four more are waiting to get in.

Where are out-of-school time programs located in Virginia? Are there program deserts? How are existing programs meeting the needs of the community?

These questions have driven VPOST to create the OST Access Map. This data story showcases data maps of program locations across the Commonwealth contrasted against data like school-age child population, poverty, working parents, legislative districts, and more.
