Spring 2005 Participation in Youth Programs: Enrollment, Attendance, and Engagement Heather B. Weiss, Priscilla M. D. Little, Suzanne Bouffard

This is a special issue of New Directions for Youth Development journal edited by Heather B. Weiss, Priscilla M. D. Little, and Suzanne Bouffard, Vol. 2005, No. 105, Spring 2005.
