Creating a picture of how different types of outcomes relate to each other helps clarify what The Youth Cafe intends to do. We use the “outcome map” as a tool to depict what we expect will happen as a result of our initiatives, strategies, activities, and programmatic efforts.
Strategy
The Youth Cafe’s projects should be based on research, learning, and adaptation, be data-informed using accessible data collection and analysis techniques, have solid and innovative evidence methods; be documented and regularly monitored and evaluated to determine changes associated with them. Ultimately, we hope to create spaces for reflection and constructive feedback loops, and to generate new project ideas, and adapt our processes and materials based on lessons learned.
