The national evaluation is opportunity for youth work teams to spotlight the difference their work makes to educational outcomes for young people – and contribute to a pilot impact dashboard for youth work that will help to make the case for the important role that the sector plays in tackling the poverty related attainment gap. 

We’re looking for youth work projects, based in school or in the community, that have taken place in the last 18 months.  We are particularly interested in projects where youth workers have supported young people affected by poverty who face multiple barriers to learning.   

Fill in our online form and share details of your project here.

To complete the form, you’ll need: 

• Brief details of the project and how you evaluated it  
• An estimated number of participating young people affected by poverty  
• Skills young people developed as a result of the programme (focusing on the 11 core skills in the Youth Work Outcomes & Skills Framework) 
• Number of youth awards gained by young people over the course of the programme. 
• A few really good examples of qualitative feedback from young people and youth worker observations regarding young people’s progress over the course of the project 
•  Where relevant, number of young people who showed improvement in attendance / participation in school as a result of youth work support – and examples of feedback from schools about young people’s progress 

Thanks to JP Morgan’s Tech for Good Team whose development support has enabled us to pilot this customised dashboard, built around the National Youth Work Outcomes and Skills Framework.
