After-School Answers in The New York Times

During the week of November 10, 2008, Lucy Friedman was the guest of the Times City Room blog, taking questions from readers. Among the topics she addressed were how to persuade students who most need after-school programs to attend; the elements of a high-quality program; how programs are funded by the city, state and federal government; the need to help more kids by bringing efficiencies to program funding; what’s on the child care/education wish list for the Obama administration; and how she benefitted from her service in the Peace Corps.

You can read the questions and answers part one, part two and part three.
