Neighborhood House is incorporating more data into many aspects of their organization and the Activator Improvement Cycle allows their youth programs to do this in a facilitated way. Participation in the cycle helps organizations improve the quality of programs, outcomes, and experiences of youth participants.  Neighborhood House is a great example of how to utilize the Activator Improvement Cycle.  Learn more about how Neighborhood House is using the Activator Improvement Cycle
