How we measure

Outputs, outcomes, and equity

Three lenses keep us honest about both activity and real change.

  • Outputs

    What we deliver — boxes packed, Labs hosted, materials moved, hours given.

  • Outcomes

    What changes — skills built, confidence gained, ventures and pathways started.

  • Equity

    Who we reach — making sure access reaches the families and communities who need it.
