"More Time for Teens: Understanding Teen Participation - Frequency, Intensity, Duration - in Boys and Girls Clubs."
While this paper speaks to the Club experience, the learnings are representative of youth centres in general - places which are dedicated to youth and/or children and youth. Good information for program development and recommendations for program expansion (reference the information on frequency and duration). An easy read if you skip through the theoretical and research information.
