Do
after-School Programs Affect Student Experience? An Enhancement Study
to the 21st Century CLC Evaluation
Directors:
Deborah Lowe Vandell, Bradford Brown, Kim M. Pierce
Funding: C.S. Mott Foundation
This study considers the out-of-school experiences of middle-school youth who attend 21st Century Community Learning Centers. Experiences of CLC youth will be contrasted with the experiences of comparison youth who do not attend CLCs. It is expected that youth who attend CLCs will spend more time engaged in voluntary structured activities than comparison youth and that CLC youth will report higher levels of intrinsic motivation and concentration than comparison youth.
