Designing for engagement: The experiences of tweens in the Boys & Girls Clubs' Youth Arts Initiative

Description:
This report examines youth recruitment and participation in a high-quality arts program and describes the reported value of this experience for participants. Specifically, the report addresses--and is organized according to--the following three sets of questions: - Recruitment: Were youth attracted to high-quality arts programs in a Club setting that offers many different types of programs? What strategies did Clubs use to recruit youth to the program? - Participation: Were tweens engaged and participating regularly in a rigorous skill-development program when other Club programs were drop-in? What did it take to ensure engagement and regular participation in this context? - Perceived value: What was the perceived value to youth and Clubs from high-quality arts programs? (author abstract)
