An independent evaluation of the Career Explorations program found it to be worthy of both continuation and replication. Career Explorations is a summer youth program operated by Hunter College (New York) in cooperation with The Coalition of 100 Black Women, and supported by The Commonwealth Fund. Its aim is to help minority New York City high school students expand their knowledge of career options and educational opportunities, particularly in health science and technology. Participants are neither academically gifted nor educationally disadvantaged. Strategies include the following: (1) meaningful work experience; (2) close relationships with mentors, supervisors, and other adults; and (3) participation in educational seminars. Program successes included the following: (1) reaching its target audience; (2) a 97 percent completion rate; and (3) a high level of participant satisfaction. Factors contributing to success included the following: (1) committed staff and leadership; (2) identification with Hunter College and the Coalition; (3) focus on meeting the needs of youth; (4) emphasis on adult youth relationships; and (5) capacity to help participating organizations meet some of their needs. Problems faced by the program can be attributed to its complexity and sometimes confusing goals. Statistical data are included on 16 tables. (FMW)
