A Windy City Breakthrough: Data to Drive Youth Progress

Mar 3, 2025

1:00pm – 2:00pm CT

Advocates and policymakers have shone a light on the many problems young people in under resourced communities face. But for all the attention on the problems, there is far less focus on the solutions – and where investments are most effective. This session will explore a data-driven model that measures critical youth outcomes, which in turn can inform the efforts of civic leaders and youth-serving organizations to produce systemic change.
