Research has shown that involvement in high quality after-school programs is related to a number of positive youth outcomes. However, before youth can benefit from these positive environments they need to be drawn into a program and consistently engaged by it. Unfortunately, middle and high school-aged youth have low attendance rates in after-school programs. Volume 12(2) takes a special look at involving youth in after-school programs and keeping them engaged.
