Description:
New data from student surveys of 9,071 participants in 21st CCLC programs in 2011-2012 suggest that children and youth in the programs benefited from participating in a variety of health, nutrition, and physical activities. The more students participated in these activities, the more benefits they reported. Students of color and low-income students reported even greater benefits than white and higher-income participants. In addition, many students received healthy snacks and meals at their programs through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). (author abstract)
