Afterschool Initiative: Evaluation (New)

Sabrina Arrendondo Mattson

This resource presents the program evaluation findings of the Colorado Trust's 5-year, $11-million afterschool initiative. This initiative began in 2000, provided support to more than 30 afterschool providers in Colorado, and served more than 12,000 students in grades 4–9. The National Research Center conducted the independent program evaluation and found that the participating youth reported improvements in their positive life choices, sense of self, core values, cultural competency, life skills, community involvement, and academic success. Chapters on the program evaluation methodology, results, conclusions, and recommendations are included. (48 pages)
