The Sundance Research Cohort is a partnership between the Sundance Family Foundation and Wilder Research to measure impact of 12 Youth Social Entrepreneurship (YSE) programs. The Sundance Research Cohort has developed a set of indicators that measure the personal agency of youth to complement their Work Readiness Survey (modified from the Department of Labor’s WIA Tool) that measures 14 indicators of work readiness.  A self-administered Youth Retrospective Survey measures key indicators of youth’s social emotional development, such as confidence, trust and personal goal identification.  These indicators measure both the impact of programs on youth and are important for youth's future success.

This presentation will describe the YSE model: a trifecta of social/emotional development, community engagement, workforce readiness & agile thinking, outline the challenges of measuring future youth success, review tools to measure success, and discuss how those tools can best be used by other nonprofits seeking to measure youth personal agency.
