Getting
It Right: Strategies for After-School Success
(pdf)
This
guide synthesizes 10 years of findings from
Public/Private Ventures and other researchers'
work on selected after-school programs. It disucsses
how to run effective after-school programs that
are funded to produce specific policy-relevant
outcomes. The recommendations are most suited
to programs that intend to produce measurable
benefits in young people who are at risk of
adverse outcomes. The following areas are discussed:
(1) the right goals, (2) the right youth, (3)
the right stuff, (4) the right period of time
(i.e., participation), (5) the right management
choices, and finally (6) how these factors work
together.
