LEARN Program: Learning and Adapting for Impact

Rigorous, equity-centered evaluation of peer mentorship impact. We measure outcomes that matter to young people, their mentors, and their communities.

Our approach

✦Equity-Centered: Evaluation designed WITH youth and mentors, not FOR them

✦Rigorous: Evidence-based measurement following academic standards

✦Transparent: Quarterly learning conversations and annual public reports
