This national survey from Public Agenda sheds light on what children and their parents want from out-of-school programs, adding their often-missing voices to the out-of-school-time policy debate. The report concludes that the vast majority of families want such programs, but they differ — particularly along racial and socioeconomic lines — in what they expect and how satisfied they are with what’s available. The data can help guide policymakers, providers and others to develop programs with an understanding of the demands of the young people they seek to attract.
