Description

This process evaluation was conducted with 12 inner-city Neighborhood Youth Centers operating during 2003-2005 and consists of several components. Specifically, attendance data were collected from all of the centers involved in the evaluation. In addition, data were collected from youth at the centers on their perceptions of "supports and opportunities" present within the programs at the centers. Summaries of these perceptions were shared with the directors of the centers who then worked on a program improvement plan. One year after the initial data were collected, youth were re-surveyed to determine whether or not improvement objectives had been achieved.
