NAN is committed to building on the strengths and expertise of existing out-of-school-time (OST) stakeholder organizations and groups. NAN believes that a centralized, coordinating 
entity will create a synergy where resources and efforts can be leveraged to expand, enhance
 and extend the reach of existing OST programs. NAN has two specific strategies to achieve its goals and objectives:

First, NAN will seek to develop alliances with a diverse group of out-of-school time (OST) 
stakeholders by accessing core member networks and working collaboratively to build 
upon the strengths and assets of various member organizations and their allies in the business, philanthropic, governmental, and public service communities.

Second, NAN will liaise with these entities to advocate at the local, state, and national levels for increased funding and support for Nevada OST programs.
