Description and Products:

The State of Connecticut developed funding mechanisms to support the development of after school programs serving disadvantaged youth through the Connecticut After School Grant Program. This grant program is defined in Section 10-16x(g) and amended by Section 26 of Public Act 07-3 of the Connecticut General Statutes. The purpose of this grant program is to help schools and community organizations develop high quality, educational programming during after school hours for students from disadvantage backgrounds, specifically students of racial and ethnic minority background and those who qualify for free and reduced lunch.

Drs. Anne Farrell and Ronald Sabatelli, along with a team of graduate and undergraduate students, provide consultation on the development of an evaluation plan; create an annual End of Year report detailing program activities that occur during the academic year; and provide data management, data analysis, and additional report preparation.
