Abstract	With an increase in the number of enrichment options available in out-of-school time (OST), young people can explore topics generally passed over in a typical school day. Parent perception of afterschool programming is beginning to shift from a simple necessity of the work week to a conscious choice about the daily experiences of their children. Public school districts are leaning heavily on afterschool programs to complement the school day by incorporating academic components to help close the achievement gap. Collective impact is one model for bringing about systemic change. Collective impact is "a framework for achieving systems-level changes in communities through coordinated multi-sector collaborations" (Christens & Inzeo, 2015). The collective impact model enables community organizations to go beyond the small constituencies with whom they regularly work, reframe their efforts, and magnify their reach. This case study investigates how collective impact can increase equitable access to high-quality OST programming by encouraging independent organizations to adopt a common agenda to solve systemic issues. In pilot programs in Somerville, Massachusetts, application of the collective impact model increased the number of OST slots available to serve local youth and is on track to transform the OST landscape.
