Harvard Family Research Project's (HFRP) announces two new resources in the
out-of-school time field: a research brief on youth out-of-school time
participation and an update to our Out-of-School Time Evaluation Database and
Bibliography.
WHAT ARE KIDS GETTING INTO THESE DAYS? DEMOGRAPHIC DIFFERENCES IN YOUTH
OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME PARTICIPATION
With support from the William T. Grant Foundation, HFRP is conducting a
research study on the factors associated with whether children and youth
participate in out-of-school time (OST) programs and activities. Building on previous
work, HFRP is using national data to examine the many factors and contexts
in children's lives that predict participation. This new research brief
distills findings from the first phase of the study on demographic characteristics
of youth participants and includes implications for practitioners,
policymakers, and researchers. The research brief is available online at:
http://www.gse.harvard.edu/hfrp/projects/afterschool/resources/demographic.htm
