Youth Studies Inc. develops systems and procedures to assess the impact of educational programs on the academic, social, and personal development of youth participants.

Our services include program evaluation, development of performance measurement systems, grant writing, statistical analysis, database development, and training.

Our Approach

Youth Studies, Inc. (YSI) was founded in January 2009 to provide research and evaluation support to youth-serving, nonprofit organizations.

These organizations face the great challenge of ensuring that their programs are sustainable, consistent with best practices, and promote positive outcomes for the populations they serve. To support our clients in meeting this challenge, YSI implements evaluation studies that generate knowledge that is both methodologically sound and of practical use to practitioners and policymakers.
