Type of Evaluation: Outcomes
Monitoring.
Objective: The Oakland Fund for Children and Youth (OFCY)
evaluation was designed to assess service provision and the effects of
services provided by organizations that received grants from OFCY. Please
note that the following summary focuses on evaluation findings regarding
the effects on children, rather than on service provision.
Impact/Outcomes: Child- and parent-reported satisfaction with
services increased between fall 2003 and spring 2004 (82.3% versus 90.6%
for children and 79.3% versus 86.8% for parents). The percentages of
children, parents, and program staff reporting
improvement across the seven developmental
assets all increased between the fall and spring (64.1% and 73.7% for
child reports, 68.3% to 79.2% for parents, and 79.7% to 83.8% for program
staff). Similarly, the percentages of all three groups reporting
improvements across the six areas of attitudes, skills, knowledge, and
behaviors increased (76.2% to 88.3% for youth reports, 76.9% to 82.2% for
parent reports, and 72.8% to 97.3% for staff reports). Staff ratings of
children's expectations of themselves remained about the same (68.3% to
68.9%) as did their ratings of children's participation in home, school,
and community (67.2% to 67.9%). 67% of children improved their school
attendance by more than the average improvement of OUSD students; 59%
improved their CAT 6 by more than the average improvement of OUSD
students.
