Before the study came to existence, the authors were merely the shock absorbers of students complaints on the YCAP programs till they decided to do something about it. Setting down to work they decided to investigate the YCAP program from the students point of view. Thus, an attitudinal scale evolved using as its criteria of measurement the objectives of the YCAP program. These objectives were operationalized into the four criterion variables namely: community development, altruism, cooperation, personal development. Its aim or objectives was to find out: If there were any differences between YCAP students and non YCAP students with respect to attitudes toward the four criterion variables. ; How did the students differ in attitudes with respect to the four criterion variables. ; Were there any relationships between the socio demographic variables and students attitudes toward the four criterion variables. To be able to do this, a just test only experimental design was used, with the experimental group as the YCAP group, and the control group as the non YCAP group. a self administered questionnaire measuring attitudes on the four criterion, was used as the testing instrument.
