SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Impact Evaluation of the
YouthBuild program is a seven-year
experimental design impact evaluation
funded by ETA. YouthBuild is a youth
and community development program
that addresses several core issues facing
low-income communities: available
housing, youth education, youth
employment and youth criminal
behavior. The program primarily serves
high school dropouts and focuses on
helping them attain a high school
diploma or general educational
development certificate, and teaching
them construction skills geared toward
career placement. The Impact
Evaluation will measure core program
outcomes including educational
attainment, postsecondary planning,
employment, earnings, delinquency and
involvement with the criminal justice

system, and youth social and emotional
development. The evaluation represents
an important opportunity for DOL to
add to the growing body of knowledge
about the impacts of ‘‘second chance’’
programs for youth who have dropped
out of high school. Compared to peers
who remain in school, high school
dropouts are more likely to be
disconnected from school and work, be
incarcerated, be unmarried, and have
children outside of marriage.
The evaluation of the YouthBuild
program will address the following
research questions:
• Operation: How is YouthBuild
designed in each participating site?
What are the key implementation
practices that affect how the program
operates? How does the local context
affect program implementation and the
services available to members of the
control group?
• Participation: What are the
characteristics of youth who enroll in
the study? How are these characteristics
shaped by YouthBuild recruitment and
screening practices?
• Impacts: What are YouthBuild’s
impacts on educational attainment,
planning, and aspirations? What are
YouthBuild’s impacts on employment,
earnings, and job characteristics? What
are YouthBuild’s impacts on crime and
delinquency? What are the program’s
impacts on social-emotional
development, identity development,
and self-regulation?
• Costs: How does the net cost per
participant compare with the impacts
the program generates?
The evaluation study started in June
2010 and is scheduled to continue until
July 2017. The study includes a baseline
information collection, a web-based
survey of YouthBuild grantees, sitespecific qualitative and cost data, and
three mixed-mode (web and computerassisted telephone interviewing) surveys
of youth that will take place 12, 30, and
48 months after random assignment.
The target population for the study is
out-of-school youth aged 16–24, who are
from low-income families; in foster care;
offenders; migrants; disabled; or are
children of incarcerated parents.
Members of both the treatment and
control groups will complete the 48month follow-up survey. The survey
requests information about the services
that participants have received through
YouthBuild and other community
service providers, as well as information
about their educational attainment,
postsecondary planning and
engagement, employment, earnings,
delinquency and involvement with the
criminal justice system, and social and
emotional development.

II. Review Focus
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
The Department is particularly
interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
