Abstract	This module presents the range of benefits youths receive from their participation in Community Science Workshops (CSWs)--from personal, to social, to academic and how these benefits reveal the core values of the CSWs in action. The multi-year evaluation of the CSW program included site visits to multiple Community Science Workshop sites around the country; interviews with participants, site directors, and other stakeholders; and observation of and participation in CSW programming and special events. This report summarizes the overall findings and offers links to profiles of individual participants. (Contains 6 footnotes.) (ERIC).
