Important Note About Materials and Pricing

Like many of you, we've felt the squeeze of rising costs over the past few years. After holding our prices steady for two and a half years, rising operating costs make a modest adjustment necessary. To continue providing the materials you count on, we'll be making a small price adjustment—around 5%—beginning in August. We wanted to give you as much notice as possible so you have time to stock up at current pricing before the change takes effect. Thank you, as always, for the work you do with the young people you serve.

Understanding the Story Your Youth Relationship Education Data is Trying to Tell You

How Youth-Serving Programs Can Use Evaluation to Strengthen Implementation, Tell a Clearer Impact Story, and Prepare for Future Funding

Youth relationship education programs are changing lives every day, but many organizations struggle to clearly demonstrate what youth are learning, how programs are making a difference, and how to use data to strengthen implementation and future funding opportunities.

In this interactive webinar, participants will explore practical, approachable ways to use evaluation as a tool for learning, improvement, and impact storytelling. Through real-world examples and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to develop meaningful evaluation questions, identify useful indicators and evidence, and translate findings into a compelling story about what youth are learning, experiencing, and applying.

Whether you are new to evaluation or looking to strengthen your current efforts, this session will help you move beyond funder compliance and use data more strategically to support youth, programs, and communities.

Objectives: Participants will be able to:

Develop 1–2 evaluation questions to better understand and improve Youth Relationship Education program implementation and outcomes.
Select meaningful indicators and evidence sources that help demonstrate youth learning and growth.
Translate evaluation findings into a clear and compelling impact story for funders, partners, and community stakeholders.
