Proposal Abstract City Year is a national service organization founded in 1988 that unites young people for a year of full-time service in urban communities. Each year, more than 1,500 17-24 year olds from diverse backgrounds work with underserved children as tutors and mentors in 18 cities in the U.S. In 2008, City Year established a more standardized model of school service (Whole School Whole Child) to address the academic, social, and emotional needs of children in their school environment, with an urgency framed by the high school drop-out crisis. This sharp focus on the context of K-12 education, and the era of outcomes-based accountability, has changed the context for evaluation activities and use for organizational learning across City Year. In this paper, we will share systems and example tools led by an internal evaluation department that allow us to deploy data collection and feedback in a large, national, education non-profit context
