Youth Financial Literacy & Wealth Building Initiative · Grades 6–8 · Chicagoland

Success & impact

Measure what matters. Publish only what can be supported.

Because this initiative is building its program pathway, this page presents the planned measurement framework—not achieved outcomes. Verified results and permissioned stories can be added after delivery.

Discuss an evaluation partnership

Current status: measurement framework only

No student counts, completion rates, knowledge gains, testimonials, or partner outcomes are published as established facts on this page.

Planned indicators

A balanced view of participation, learning, and experience.

Participation

Students reached, sessions offered, attendance patterns, and access by delivery setting.

Completion

Completion of an agreed lesson sequence, project, or workshop series.

Knowledge

Age-appropriate checks before and after selected lessons, reported with context.

Confidence & action

Self-reported comfort plus a specific action a student intends to try.

Family engagement

Resource downloads, family-event participation, and voluntary adult feedback.

Partner experience

Educator and host feedback on relevance, logistics, accessibility, and next steps.

Reporting principles

Context before celebration.

A credible report should explain who participated, what was delivered, what changed, how it was measured, and what the evidence cannot show.

Label the source

Distinguish attendance records, learning checks, voluntary surveys, and qualitative feedback.

State the denominator

Explain how many people were eligible, participated, completed, or responded.

Protect youth privacy

Use aggregate reporting and collect only information necessary for learning improvement.

Name limitations

Avoid implying long-term financial behavior or wealth outcomes from short-term education data.

Future stories

Permissioned student, family, and partner stories will live here.

Stories will be added only after the experience occurs, the source is verified, and appropriate written permission is documented. No placeholder quote is intended to represent a real participant.

Help strengthen the learning and measurement approach.

Schools, youth organizations, evaluators, and funders can share needs, safeguards, and practical ways to measure progress responsibly.
