Civic Engagement: Educational Aspirations


Students participating in Teen Outreach were significantly less likely than students in the control group to fail in school or to be suspended from school. These effects were measured at the completion of the program. The Quantum Opportunities Program had several beneficial impacts. Participants had higher academic skills and educational expectations, and they received more honors and awards before graduating from high school, than nonparticipants. In addition, participants were less likely than students in the control group to drop out and more likely to graduate from high school and attend postsecondary school. These effects were still apparent after two years.
