Abstract: This ICR will be used to evaluate the efficacy of the Evaluation of the Young Parents Demonstration Project (YPDP), a grant program designed to provide educational and occupational skills training that fosters family economic self-sufficiency to young parents (both mothers and fathers) and expectant parents ages 16-24, including, as applicable, those in high-risk categories such as victims of child abuse, children of incarcerated parents, court-involved youth, youth at risk of court involvement, homeless and runaway youth, Native American youth, migrant youth, youth in or aging out of foster care, and youth with disabilities. The YPDP grantees are required to develop a mentoring model, which includes an intensive professional staff mentoring specifically for education, employment, and training and specifically for pregnant and parenting teens and young parents. They are to implement this intervention as an additional level of services above and beyond the existing services they currently provide that are specifically intended to increase an individual's education, job training and employment.

Short Statement: The burden and cost estimate has changed above for two reasons. First, the evaluation will no longer conduct the 36-month follow-up survey. Second, the evaluation team found it to be important to conduct a second set of visits to the sites to ensure they track any changes to implementation since 12 months after random assignment and to clarify any information as needed. It will help ensure that the evaluation can fully explain the programs’ implementation and the impacts observed for YPDP participants.
