The program provides three-and-a-half hours of after school activities and tutoring for 63 elementary and middle school students from two of Boston’s housing developments, Mission Main and Alice Taylor.
The sheer number of volunteers—MHASP strives for a one-on-one ratio between college volunteers and Mission Hill kids for every day—has contributed to the program’s longevity and continued strong presence in the world of after school volunteer programs.

Over the past few years, PBHA has been trying to conduct evaluations of its programs through the Survey of After-School Youth Outcomes assessment forms, which are distributed to programs at the beginning and end of each year to trace annual progress.
The SAYO forms—part of a federally funded evaluation program—are meant to touch upon homework progress, engagement in learning, and relationships with peers in each student who participates in an after school program like Mission Hill.
