Initiative, motivation, teamwork, connections to adults, and responsibility are outcomes that are related to success in school, the labor force, and other aspects of life. How do youth programs promote these outcomes? The investigators will analyze data from a recently completed in-depth study on 12 effective programs for high school aged youth to theorize how programs shape youth development. These theories will help to: guide interventions meant to improve youth programs; assist program administrators in designing programs; and guide practitioners in their daily interactions with youth.
