Abstract

Two-parent working families, safety factors, shifts in gender roles, and many other factors have led to rapid development of out-of-school-time programming to provide youngsters with the kinds of experiences they might have historically received at home and in the neighborhood. This article elaborates on key issues in quality, the quality of relationships with both peers and staff, opportunity for youth voice, and the activities provided.
