Through the program’s knowledge management system (Aluma) and a dedicated evaluation and measurement team, Youth Futures has continuously assessed its work and refined its practices since its earliest days. At the end of each program year, evaluation reports are produced at both the national and local levels.
Each Mentor completes a measurement tool at the beginning and end of the year, consisting of 24 evaluation indicators grouped into five clusters aligned with the program’s intervention domains: personal resilience, social functioning, educational functioning, parental functioning, and family relationships.

Impact is also assessed through surveys distributed to parents and school staff, evaluating the program’s influence on family dynamics, parental functioning, relationships between educational staff and children/parents, and the program’s contribution to the child and the school as a whole. In addition, every two years a national sample survey of approximately 500 Alumni at various life stages is conducted to assess the program’s long-term impact.
