Program Boost is a pilot quality initiative that will...

•  Test the Youth Program Quality Assessment/Intervention (YPQA/I) quality improvement process with fifteen afterschool sites and
•  Collect data and gather feedback on a quality system from a broad range of partners, providers, families and funders

In order to...

• Recommend a community-wide quality system that meets our community's needs, is compatible with existing state systems, and is consistent with national best practice.

YPQA? 

Because quality boosts participation.  Quality boosts engagement.  And quality boosts outcomes.
