Outcome-focused or evidence-based youth programming outside of school
The Connelly Foundation invests in youth across multiple portfolios. As a complement to support for Catholic Schools and their students, the Foundation supports high-quality, community-based out of school time programs.
Youth programs will be evaluated on the following criteria:
- Population served
- Attendance and retention of youth
- Program goals and metrics to measure impact on youth
- Accessibility and/or attendance by students from Catholic schools
Preferred measures of evaluation include:
- Number of youth served
- Attendance, retention and number of hours engaged
- Outcomes measuring school engagement or post-secondary plans
