How After-School Programs Help Students Do Better
Tuesday, June 1, 1999
This article reports the findings of a study of six after-school programs around the state. The authors analyze what makes an after-school program successful in attracting students. They discuss such factors as structured homework assistance (which they found to be a major incentive for many students to attend), sites in the community, transportation to and from programs, and cultural enrichment for African-American students.
