Qualitative Research [The Youth Development Experience (TYDE)]

This is an in-depth qualitative study aimed at understanding development in youth programs. We are collecting intensive data from youth, from adult leaders, and from participant observation in 12 high quality youth programs. The objective is to generate theory regarding how developmental processes occur and what adult leaders do to support them.

The Youth Experience Survey (YES)

We surveyed a large representative sample of high school juniors about their experiences in youth development programs, including extracurricular activities and community-based programs. The objective is to determine how often adolescents report these different categories of developmental experiences across types of programs, types of adolescents, and lower and higher SES communities.
