Following two years of study, the League of Women Voters of Moscow has come to consensus
concerning after-school activities for Junior High and High School youth.
- There should be youth involvement in all phases of the planning and execution.
- Youth (7th grade through 12th grade) need a program of varied activities available daily.
- The location of these activities needs to be at an established site(s), dedicated solely to youth.
- The Youth Centers should have broad community support and be administered by a public entity. If the center is a Boys and Girls Club, it should be administered by a broad-based community board.
- There should be separate facilities or separate focus areas for Junior High and High School students.
- Appropriate activities should be available.
- Center hours should correspond to the ‘free time’ of those it serves.
