LINKS (Lifecourse Interventions to Nurture Kids Successfully) summarizes evaluations of out-of-school time programs that work (or not) to enhance children's development. The lifecourse perspective is based on the concept that child development is a cumulative process that begins before birth and continues into young adulthood. The Database is user-friendly and directed especially to policy makers, program providers, and funders.
Child Trends wants to include more out-of school time program evaluations in our LINKS database. Evaluations submitted for consideration must meet the LINKS Eligibility Criteria. To apply, click here.
Raising Healthy Children What do children need? What should be avoided? The Raising Healthy Children model offers some clues to what children need and when, based on accumulated knowledge of child development. This knowledge is derived from both experimental and non-experimental studies.
