What out-of-school activities and extracurricular activities in school work best for which youth? What factors move youth into and out of activities? What processes link youth activity involvement and long-term educational outcomes? To address these questions, the investigators will use data from approximately 1000 youth participating in an 8-year longitudinal study of adolescent and early adulthood development. This project will generate detailed information about youth experiences outside of school that will be useful to policymakers, educators, and others who are interested in planning intervention strategies.
