Many National Collaboration for Youth member organizations have been providing high-quality out-of-school-time programming to youth for more than 100 years. In spite of this fact, the average American does not know what these programs actually look like, or more importantly, what they can accomplish. Furthermore, policy-makers, administrators in local youth organizations, and frontline youth workers are sometimes unaware of the range of programs and their impact. To address these issues, NCY applied for and received funding from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation to research and disseminate -- in a user-friendly format -- data and lessons learned from 10 model programs that are making a difference in the lives of youth. The intent is not to present an exhaustive collection of programs, but rather to illustrate the scope and impact of programming being offered by NCY member organizations and their partners in local communities throughout the nation. Please enjoy reading and learning from each of the 10 model programs
Each of the 10 case studies profiles an out-of-school-time program in action. Readers will discover how the programs are making a difference, through individual stories and quotes from youth, parents, program implementers, program developers, and researchers.
