Our Heartbeat was Strong!
Attended by 225 OST and summer learning professionals across Virginia, the 16th annual VPOST conference was the largest yet! The wonderful conference committee couldn’t have picked a better theme (The Heartbeat of OST: Relationships that Inspire, Empower, and Transform), and it showed in all areas of the daylong event. Keynote speaker Sheneika Simmons set the tine, with vibrant workshop presenters and the exhibit hall adding to the energy she created. Additionally, the “Plenary Power Hour” featuring the National Afterschool Association, the K-12 Coalition, and VPOST’s new Quality Check Tool all offered excellent ways to increase your program quality.

A hearty thank you to our sponsors Techterra Education and K-12 Coalition, along with our supportive partners at the Virginia Department of Education, who helped make this an event to remember. We look forward to planning for 2026!
Thank you to our GOLD LEVEL Sponsor:
K-12 Coalition!
