Learn and Serve America Meth Free TN: Youth Edition, Year 2 Project Evaluation Report

The University of Tennessee's Institute for Assessment and Evaluation (IAE) was contracted to provide ongoing annual evaluation of the Learn and Serve America (LSA) Meth Free TN: Youth Edition (also referred to as Afterschool Service-Learning) over the life of the grant program. Learn and Serve America Meth Free TN: Youth Edition is a statewide grant program that supports integration of service-learning in afterschool programs to further statewide methamphetamine (meth) prevention initiatives by creating anti-meth communication products by youth for youth. In this second annual evaluation report, the Institute for Assessment and Evaluation team presents its findings and conclusions regarding Afterschool Service-Learning progress as of June 2008 (the end of the project reporting year July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008). This report provides a formative evaluation perspective. Accordingly, the evaluation offers findings, conclusions, and recommendations for consideration by the State Program Coordinator and staff.
