Type of Evaluation: Quasi-experimental.

Note: The evaluation included here did not include Santa Fe programs.

Objective: This evaluation sought to examine the effects of a non-school educational enhancement program (part of Boys & Girls Club) on school performance among economically disadvantaged early adolescents who live in public housing.

Impact/Outcomes: After 30 months, greater engagement and enjoyment in reading, verbal skills, writing, and tutoring, plus greater enjoyment in geography, were found for program youth compared to the comparison group.

Membership fee is determined on a sliding scale. (84% of participants do not pay a fee.)
