Coherence is a concept that we utilize in this paper as a means for interpreting the process by which [ORG NAME] scales out-of-school time programming across multiple cities. We employ the idea of coherence because it can help capture whether new sites operate in ways that are aligned to the core ideals.

Codified essential elements can serve as guides for organizational values, which can shape the ways in which program stakeholders develop coherent programming across sites.
