The Department is accepting competitive
applications for out-of-school time projects. All proposals for the Montana Out-of-School Time (MOST) grants must seek to provide opportunities to improve or
enhance the quality of care, activities, and services to school-age children (5 to 18 years of age) and their families
before- and after-school, on school holidays, and can be used for summer programs funding available through June
30,2011. The purpose of the MOST projects is to strengthen Montana families and promote healthy youth development.
Approved project applicants will provide program design and implementation that is intended to improve academic
performance, social competencies, positive values and positive physical outcomes for children.
