摘要

Using a mixed-methods approach, this study examined the impact of the G3 Be More Program, a community-based enrichment program for children and youth. Quantitative surveys assessed program satisfaction, self-efficacy, school functioning, and emotional and behavioral markers. Qualitative data from focus groups explored participants' experiences and perceptions of the program. The findings indicated high program satisfaction across children, youth, and parents. While short-term quantitative data showed limited changes in key outcomes, exploratory analyses suggested potential improvements in self-esteem and emotional well-being with longer program participation. Qualitative data highlighted themes such as enhanced self-efficacy, improved relationships, and the importance of a supportive community environment. The study demonstrates the value of mixed methods in evaluating community-based programs and the significance of cultural context in program design and effectiveness.
