    Listening to Young People’s Perspectives on Out-of-School Time Opportunities
    (University of Minnesota Extension Center for Youth Development, 2004) Saito, Rebecca; Minnesota Commission on Out-of-School Time
    Youth Voices focus groups were conducted with 101 middle- and high-school students in nine Minnesota communities during March and April 2004. Facilitated by researcher and evaluator Rebecca N. Saito, the discussions focused on youths’ perspectives on and opinions about after-school and community-based programs. Saito also debriefed after each conversation with the adult(s) who organized the group. This briefing paper provides an overview of what we learned about the OST opportunities and experiences in these communities.
