With support from the William T. Grant Foundation, we are conducting a research study on the factors associated with whether children and youth participate in out-of-school time (OST) programs and activities. Building on our previous work, we are using national data to examine the many factors and contexts in children's lives that predict participation. This new research brief distills findings about demographic characteristics of youth participants from the first phase of the study and includes implications for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers.
