    Staying on Course

Three-Year Results of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Evaluation
2011. Megan Millenky, Dan Bloom, Sara Muller-Ravett, Joseph Broadus.

After three years, participants in National Guard Youth ChalleNGe, an intensive, “quasi-military” residential program for high school dropouts, are more likely than their control group counterparts to have obtained a GED or high school diploma, to have earned college credits, and to be working. Their earnings are also 20 percent higher.

    Making the Transition
Interim Results of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Evaluation
    2010. Megan Millenky, Dan Bloom, and Colleen Dillon.

Interim results from a random assignment evaluation of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program, an intensive, residential program for high school dropouts, show that young people who had access to ChalleNGe were much more likely than those in the control group to have obtained a high school diploma or a General Educational Development certificate. They were also somewhat more likely to be working, in college, or enlisted in the military.
 
    Reengaging High School Dropouts
Early Results of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program Evaluation
    2009. Dan Bloom, Alissa Gardenhire-Crooks, and Conrad Mandsager.

Very early results from a random assignment evaluation of the National Guard Youth ChalleNGe Program, an intensive, “quasi-military” residential program for high school dropouts, show that the program has large impacts on high school diploma and GED attainment and positive effects on working, college-going, health, self-efficacy, and avoiding arrest.
