Abstract

The Center for Urban and Multicultural Education (CUME), a research and evaluation center at Indiana University School of Education at Indianapolis has been contracted by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis to conduct an external evaluation of Project RELATES (Reaching Everyone by Linking Afterschool to Educational Standards). The following report is a yearend, summative evaluation, which examines trends and evidence across all of the sites. In this report, we provide an overview of the program before turning to describing the evaluation design and summarizing the shortterm performance measures. The report concludes with recommendations for program improvement.
