10. Incentives may promote program attendance
Incentives may promote program attendance. Incentives can motivate youth to attend out-of school time programs. Financial incentives, in particular, have been found to motivate older youth to attend after-school activities. Research shows positive associations between program attendance and program offerings that can be used as incentives, such as special art projects and recreational and academic activities.
Incentives may promote a sense of belonging to a program. Research has found that program activities that can also be used as incentives—such as special leadership opportunities, career development field trips, and service projects—can instill in participants a sense of belonging to a program. Moreover, research suggests that participants continue to be involved in a program when they experience a sense of belonging to a group or activity.
Incentives may spur academic achievement. Incentives may also strengthen participants’ commitment to learning. The increased program attendance that incentives inspire can provide youth with additional academic support and the personal adult attention that research shows can improve students’ academic performance.
You cannot expect a youth to thrive if he or she has been conditioned to survive.
