MiLEAP Out-of-School Time (OST) Grant Program Announcement

We’re excited to share that the Grayling Recreation Authority, in partnership with the Crawford County Library, has been awarded a MiLEAP Out-of-School Time (OST) Grant to support youth programming in our community.

This funding helps us expand access to quality after-school and enrichment opportunities — providing more kids the chance to stay active, learn new skills, and build connections in a safe, positive environment outside the school day.

As part of the grant requirements, we are asked to collect and report participant program data to MiLEAP. This information helps demonstrate program impact, secure continued funding, and ensure these opportunities remain available for local families.

Because of this, families may be contacted to provide or confirm a few additional details such as:

• Participant demographics
• School and grade level
• Household zip code
• Other standard OST reporting fields

All shared information is kept confidential and used strictly for grant reporting purposes.

We truly appreciate your participation and support as we work to grow youth programming in Grayling. Grants like this directly benefit our community — helping us keep programs affordable, accessible, and impactful for the families we serve.

If you have any questions regarding the OST Grant or data collection process, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
