Through their participation in youth programs, young people have access to opportunities to learn and build important skills. A total of 214 youth between the ages of 10-19 (mean 15.5 years) completed an online survey about characteristics of youth programs they participated in, didn't participate in, and had participated in but quit. We found that youth participated in activities that provided a benefit to meet personal goals or develop skills. However, our findings suggest that youth may leave activities, or never join them, based on different sets of motivations than the reasons they stay in activities. There was variability across demographic groups: Males reported more problems with past activities, sexual minority youth were more likely to endorse social problems with past and never joined activities, and ethnic minorities reported less support for personal goals and connection to adults in current activities and more logistic barriers for activities never joined.
通过参与青年项目，年轻人有机会学习并培养重要技能。共有214名年龄在10至19岁之间（平均15.5岁）的青年完成了一项关于他们参与过、未参与过以及参与过但已退出的青年项目特征的在线调查。我们发现，青年参与的活动能带来益处，有助于实现个人目标或培养技能。然而，我们的研究结果表明，青年离开活动或从不参与活动的动机与他们留在活动中的原因不同。不同人口群体存在差异：男性报告过去参与的活动存在更多问题，性少数群体青年更倾向于认可过去参与和从未参与的活动存在社会问题，少数族裔报告当前活动中对个人目标的支持较少以及与成年人的联系较少，并且从未参与的活动存在更多后勤障碍。
