The Survey of Afterschool Youth Outcomes Youth Survey: SAYO Y

The Survey of Afterschool Youth Outcomes Youth Survey (SAYO Y) is designed to complement the SAYO S and T and the APT, or to be used on its own. SAYO Y is to be completed by youth online. Research suggests that certain youth experiences and outcomes are critical to youth's future success. In line with this research, the SAYO Y is comprised of three surveys; youth's experiences in the afterschool program; youth's sense of competence; and youth's future planning and expectations.

The SAYO Y is adaptable; programs can administer all or portions of the SAYO Y depending on their goals. For an overview of the SAYO Y and how it fits into the APAS system, download the APAS brochure (pdf).
