The Beyond School blog on the Education Week website recently covered the release of Engaging Older Youth: Program and City-level Strategies to Support Sustained Participation in Out-of-School Time, a new report by Harvard Family Research Project and Public/Private Ventures and funded by The Wallace Foundation.  The report highlights successful engagement and recruitment practices of out-of-school time programs aimed at middle and high school students.
