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.
