FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE IMPACTS

Factor 1. Feeling Empowered
Impacts of non-formal education Page 10
Centers varied in how empowered youth felt (supported and involved in program planning and implementation)
Key finding: Greater impacts on youth in centers where they felt more empowered (especially for prosocial behavior & social skills)
Makes strong case for Participatory Methodology
Age group difference: Older youth (16-21) felt more empowered by the program than younger youth (13-15)
