| Abstract | The research and evaluation evidence is mounting: out-of-school-time (OST) programs can keep young people safe, support working families, and improve academic achievement and the civic and social development of young people. Indeed, according to recent polling data, 6.5 million children are enrolled in after-school programs nationwide and therefore are poised to reap the benefits of program participation. However, an estimated 14.3 million children still care for themselves in the nonschool hours, thus not experiencing the unique opportunities that OST programs provide for learning, development, and safety. Furthermore, there are discrepancies in access to programs that impede equitable participation across youth of diverse backgrounds. This article describes a conceptual model of participation in OST programs and activities developed by the Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP). In this model, scholarly theory, empirical research, knowledge gained from practitioners, and existing theories of change about how OST participation influences outcomes converge to describe influences on youth participation in OST programs and activities and potential outcomes of that participation. In the center of the model, participation is conceived as a three-part construct of enrollment, attendance, and engagement. The participation equation (participation = enrollment + attendance + engagement) proposes that attendance is a necessary, but not a sufficient component of participation, and enrollment and attendance without engagement do not reflect true participation. True, youth cannot benefit from participation if they do not attend, but increasingly, merely being there is not what makes real improvements in youth outcomes. (Contains 1 figure and 40 notes.)
