Project Return: Community Education Initiative and Babygram Hospital Outreach 1992-93. OREA Report.
New York City Board of Education, Brooklyn, NY. Office of Research, Evaluation, and Assessment.
Project Return, a dual-component dropout recovery program under the administration of the Program for Pregnant and Parenting Adolescents began operating in 1990 and by 1993 had expanded to 19 sites. The Community Education Initiative operated in seven elementary schools and one satellite site to target elementary school parents of all ages who had not completed their education (the Project Return component). The Babygram Hospital Outreach component operated in 11 health care facilities to target teens who had dropped out of school or were at risk of dropping out because of pregnancy or parenting. Both components used a case management approach. The Office of Research, Evaluation, and Assessment collected data from a variety of sources to evaluate the programs. In 1992-93, there were 1,096 new intakes by the Return component and 2,392 new intakes through Babygram. Outcome data, available for almost all participants, indicated favorable outcomes for the majority of participants in both programs. In Project Return schools, 81 percent of clients received a diploma or certificate, were promoted or retained at work, or secured employment. Recommendations are made for program continuation and improvement. Fourteen tables present evaluation findings. (SLD
