- Family Strengthening Programs that Work
"Lessons from Family-Strengthening Interventions: Learning from Evidence-Based

In it, we review family-strengthening interventions that have been rigorously evaluated through experimental studies and find some common elements among programs that worked. We invite you to take a look at the brief -- first released in October 2006 -- to see our recommendations for creating successful programs and evaluations. You can find this brief online at:

It examines recruitment strategies that attract young people to activities, the qualities that make activities engaging and motivate participants to attend regularly, and the infrastructure-staffing, management and monitoring-needed to support such activities..
