Community-based programs are critical to the communities they serve. Often led by peers from the same cultural background, they provide accessible services to youth, especially children of color. This shared connection fosters trust, enables tailored approaches and ensures programs effectively meet needs.
Unfortunately, too many of these organizations operate on razor-thin budgets, with fewer assets and less access to well-resourced networks. This hampers their access to data and evidence tools that help refine, improve and expand programming critical to the people they serve.
A strategy helps community-based programs around the country improve their collection and use of data to better serve their communities. It is the subject of a recent report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation: Building Evidence to Advance Equity.
