Family & Youth Resource Act Evaluation

Principal Investigator: Linda J. Peñaloza, Ph.D.
Start and End Dates: July 1, 2004 - June 30, 2007
Source of Funding: New Mexico Public Education Department (PED)

The UNM Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (CHPDP) has been asked by the New Mexico Public Education Department to evaluate the Family and Youth Resource Act (FYRA) Program. In FY06, the FYRA Program is in its third year of implementation in approximately 35 school districts in the state. The FYRA evaluation team, led by Principal Investigator Linda Peñaloza, is examining the process outcomes related to the implementation of FYRA, which is intended to create mutual long-term relationships with public, private and community-based agencies—including faith-based organizations, civic and corporate organizations—to help students attain high academic achievement by meeting certain nonacademic needs of students and their families. Results of the evaluation will be used to make recommendations about improving the program and future funding decisions.
