Many nonprofit organizations working tirelessly with youth within low-income communities are not able to provide data, reporting, and evidence that their efforts have helped youth achieve success. As a result, these nonprofits cannot attain needed federal, state and foundation dollars. Building evaluation systems is expensive, time consuming, and challenging for organizations that understandably prioritize program services over data collection. This is a Challenge to reward candidates with an opportunity to jointly build their systems and the field of YSE.
