100 Percent would recommend college study program to after-school co-workers

In the fall of 2007, The Center for After-School Excellence launched a one-year professional certificate program for after-school educators who want to improve their work with kids, earn college credits for little or no cost and advance their careers through studies at the City University of New York (CUNY). In evaluating the first year of this initiative, the research organization Policy Studies Associates found that 100 percent of the 94 participating after-school educators would recommend the college study program to a friend or co-worker. Some 94 percent felt they had improved their academic abilities; and 92 percent felt they increased their knowledge of working with kids. A majority of the community organizations that partnered with the Center said they would continue to encourage employees to enroll. Many expressed hopes the Center would expand the program.
