This report presents an evaluation of the Whitney M. Young Learning Center (WMYLC) program in the Portland (Oregon) School District. This after-school homework assistance and tutoring program for students in grades 7 through 12 was begun in 1980 by the Urban League of Portland. The goal of the WMYLC is to help students achieve academic success and become self-directed learners. Instruction is individualized, serving mostly regular students though some have moderate or significant learning problems. A major concern of the program is shaping behavior and study habits. Findings showed that the program appeared to provide an educationally worthwhile experience for students. Two critical factors that slowed the development of the program were cost of materials and marketing of the program to schools. Long-term effects of the project cannot yet be gauged. The report provides recommendations for improving the program. Appendices provide copies of the following: (1) monthly reports; (2) WMYLC intake and referral forms; (3) tutorial progress report worksheets; (4) a memorandum on recent developments at WMYLC; (5) a WMYLC newsletter; and (6) a bibliography.
