Eval 2017 Session Abstract:

Year Up is a large national nonprofit that aims to close the “opportunity divide” between millions of low-income young adults and career opportunities with top-notch businesses facing employment shortages across the U.S. Year Up’s internal research and evaluation team has made significant headway in developing efficient, scalable organization-wide evaluation techniques that generate actionable results for many different stakeholders, but this process has not been without its pitfalls. Indeed, at times, we have fallen flat on our faces while our organization has rapidly grown (upwards of 30% a year) over the last several years. In frank and honest ways, this presentation will showcase several internal evaluation failures, how they can serve as a cautionary tale for others, and what we’ve done to avoiding reinventing the wheel and making it square in the future.
