Evaluations

The commitment to evaluation at UFC is strong

The overarching aim is to assess the effectiveness of UFC’s programs in improving outcomes for both current and former foster youth, as well as to study the impact of UFC’s relationship-based approach to serving youth.

  1. Excellence + Impact

    One of our core values is to embrace program evaluation that leads to excellence and impact both within the organization and in the broader community.

  2. Data Driven Success

    As an organization that believes in the importance of data driven success, UFC utilizes collected data to develop, test, evolve and grow its programs.

  3. Key Outcomes, Milestones + Indicators

    We’ve finalized an outcomes framework that sets forth key outcomes, milestones and indicators for each of our programs to track and measure program effectiveness in helping current and former foster youth become self-sufficient.
