This article was presented as a paper at the conference, “Organizational Intervention and Urban Poverty in the 21st Century,” sponsored by the University of Chicago, March 10–11, 2011. The National Science Foundation (SES-0241559) provided the funding for this research. We want to extend our special thanks to Shap Wolf and Bill Edwards, both formerly affiliated with The Institute for Social Science Research at Arizona State University, who collected these data; and to Mathew Green, Steve Corral, Joy Inouye, and Paola Molina, who helped with the data cleaning. Also thanks to Ronald Breiger for helping us appreciate the potential of affiliation data and correspondence analysis; George Hobor, who helped us find references on what children do in their leisure time; and Kendra Thompson-Dyck and Kathryn Anderson for references on supermarkets, recreational facilities, and residents’ health. We also wish to thank the Social and Behavioral Science Research Institute and the Udall Center at the University of Arizona for their support. Finally, this article was greatly influenced by the research of Edward O. Laumann, Franz Pappi, and J. Miller McPherson, who did pioneering research on the interface between community residents, elites, and organizations.

N2 - The article addresses the questions, What do children in urban areas do on Saturdays? What types of organizational resources do they have access to? Does this vary by social class? Using diary data on children's activities on Saturdays in the Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale metropolitan area, the authors describe the different types of venues (households, businesses, public space, associations, charities, congregations, and government/tribal agencies) that served different types of children. They find that the likelihood of using a charity or business rather than a government or tribal provider increased with family income. Also, the likelihood of using a congregation or a government facility rather than a business, charity, or household increased with being Hispanic. The authors discuss the implications for the urban division of labor on Saturdays and offer research questions that need further investigation.
