The purpose of this paper is to address the challenges of attrition in adolescent, voluntary after-school programs (ASPs).  Studies show that the after-school hours are a time of elevated juvenile delinquency. Since 1998 there has been a surge in the number of ASPs throughout the United States.  Despite this surge, attrition is a major concern and threat to ASPs.  Moreover, youth who drop out are rarely asked about their reasons for not attending.  Seventy middle school-aged individuals who were selected to participate in the Baltimore County Middle School After-School Collaboration Project (BCAP) but eventually dropped out are interviewed for this study.  Six primary reasons for non-attendance including: a lack of program fidelity, participation in non-family-related after-school activities, participation in family-related after-school activities, program length, boredom, and a lack of quality academic help are identified.  The findings indicate a need for programming that is faithful, flexible, and narrow in terms of activities offered
