How can we measure the impact of youth programs?

Measuring the impact of youth programs can involve various methods, such as surveys, interviews, and performance metrics. What specific outcomes are you interested in?

I'm particularly interested in social skills and academic performance.

For social skills, you could use peer assessments and self-reports, while academic performance can be measured through grades and standardized tests. Would you like to know more about specific tools or frameworks?

Yes, what tools can help with this measurement?

Some effective tools include the Youth Outcomes Questionnaire (YOQ) for social skills and the Academic Performance Index (API) for academic results. Would you like to explore how to implement these tools?

That would be great! How do I start?

To start, define your goals, select the appropriate tools, and gather baseline data. Then, implement the tools and analyze the results periodically. Would you like a step-by-step guide?
