Quality Counts

Quality Counts

The Quality Counts Initiative (2007-2009) helped communities and states improve the quality and reach of their youth services by providing them with tools and resources for planning.
 

Quality Counts guided communities and states to:

  • Assess their capacity to improve those services.
  • Create a plan to increase program quality and staff skills.
  • Make more information available about out-of-school time opportunities. 
  • Create a leadership agenda for quality improvement.
