Summary View help for Summary
MDRC conducted a random assignment evaluation of the Young Adult Internship Program (YAIP), a subsidized employment program for young people in New York City who have become disconnected from school and work. This program was one of several evaluated as part of the Subsidized and Transitional Employment Demonstration (STED) project. Operated by various provider agencies, YAIP offers disconnected young people between the ages of 16 and 24 a temporary paid internship, as well as various support services. MDRC conducted a random assignment evaluation of YAIP to determine whether the program makes a difference in the lives of the young people it serves. The evaluation included an implementation study, an impact study, and a cost analysis.

From July 2013 to March 2014, program staff assigned nearly 2,700 young people at random to either a program group, which was offered Young Adult Internship Program (YAIP) services, or to a control group, which was not offered those services. The YAIP evaluation measured outcomes for both groups over time to assess whether YAIP services led to better outcomes for the program group compared with those of the control group.
