The Children and Family Enrichment (CAFE) program at Rowe Middle School in Milwaukie, Oregon is a program of Metropolitan Family Services (MFS).  CAFE at Rowe is designed to provide after school educational and enrichment programs for middle school as well as family events and adult education classes for their parents.  Recruitment is targeted to lower income families, though the program is technically open to everyone who applies on a first come, first served basis.  Funding is provided by a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant from the Oregon Department of Education.  The evaluation period is July 2009-June 2012. 

The evaluation for the project will be conducted by the PSU Regional Research Institute. Methodology will consist of focused discussions with parents of participating children and analysis of de-identified student data provided by the school district and program.
