AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN THE 21ST CENTURY

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN THE 21ST CENTURY The latest “Issues and Opportunities in Out-of-School Time Evaluation” research brief from Harvard Family Research Project draws on seminal research and evaluation studies to address two primary questions: (a) Does participation in after school programs make a difference, and, if so (b) what conditions appear to be necessary to achieve positive results? The 12-page brief concludes with a set of questions to spur conversation about the evolving role of after school in efforts to expand time and opportunities for children and youth in the 21st century.

In addition to the full research brief, Harvard Family Research Project offers two valuable online-only resources:
