COACHING
Metrics
The Metrics Program helps Nonprofit Partners use data to understand and strengthen their impact on young people. Grounded in positive youth development and culturally responsive and sustaining practice, the program centers on social and emotional learning outcomes. Staff build confidence collecting and interpreting data, then put those insights to work in their programs and across their organizations.
Youth INC supports each Nonprofit Partner through a one-year engagement that pairs individualized coaching with workshops and webinars, along with regular cohort check-ins to keep progress on track.

Advancing Evaluation and Impact
In the Metrics Program, we work alongside teams to build program quality and evaluation capacity together, so each strengthens the other. Staff gain practical tools for using data in everyday decisions, creating insight that keeps programs improving year after year.

Measuring Growth, Sharing Impact
I have so much more language to describe our programming and policies, and more confidence surrounding the materials when discussing them with colleagues. The Youth INC team and their resources are unparalleled.
Nonprofit Partner Staff and Hello Insight User
Access to a tangible way to gather metrics has been phenomenally helpful. Other trainings offer suggestions without practical means of doing this work, so the ability to use the tool while learning about it, how to use it, and how it should inform program has been really helpful...bordering on transformative!
