Youth Outcomes Compendium
Produced by Child Trends in partnership with the
Edna McConnell Clark Foundation

 

The Overview of the Youth Outcomes Compendium describes how the document is structured and how it can be useful to researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and funders, alike. It also presents the conceptual model of youth development and youth outcomes upon which this work is framed. The Youth Outcomes Grid provides a concise picture of the subdomains, outcomes, and indicators within each of the broad domains (educational attainment, health and safety, social and emotional well-being, and self-sufficiency), as well as an indication of the appropriate age range of youth for each outcome.
