Focusing on promoting positive development in youth, Mahoney (psychology, Yale U.), Reed W. Larson (psychology, U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), and Jacquelynne S. Eccles (psychology, U. of Michigan) present 22 essays which examine social and cultural perspectives on youth leisure activities, developmental processes and outcomes, and recommendations for integrating research, practice, and policy in order to develop more effective after- and out-of-school programs. Topics include organized activities as developmental contexts for children and adolescents; contexts and correlates of out-of-school activity participation among low-income urban adolescents; youth-adult research collaborations; youth music engagement in diverse contexts; community service and identity formation in adolescents; developing a comprehensive agenda for out-of-school hours; mentoring programs in the after-school lives of children and adolescents; and differences in quality in after-school programs for low-income children.
