TASC shares lessons from this evolving initiative in a newly published report, Meeting the High School Challenge: Making After-School Work for Older Students. The report describes three programmatic approaches TASC has developed to successfully engage and meet the expectations of older students, and support their passage from high school to college and careers.
High school students who participate in strong, structured after-school programs improve their grades and school attendance, pass more Regents exams and are more likely to graduate. Effectively engaging teens in after-school is an urgent priority, but also one of the greatest challenges for after-school providers.
TASC has engaged in one of the nation's largest and longest-running efforts to offer teens high quality after-school programs, annually serving an average of 4,500 New York City students over nine years.
