Measurement 101 Workshop
This is the online content from the winter 2025 Measurement 101 Workshop. The content guides you in developing measures and tools to track your program's impact. This workshop was hosted in collaboration with Measurement4Change.
Lunch & Learn Session 1 — Introduction to Impact Measurement
An introduction to quantitative measurement, what it means to measure your impact, and a practical exercise to help you begin applying these concepts to your own programs. This video was made in partnership with M4C.
Lunch & Learn Session 2 — Building an Evaluation Framework
A hands-on session focused on developing an evaluation framework for your program — including how to articulate your program's goals, establish clear objectives, and build a framework to measure how effectively your program is achieving them. This video was made in partnership with M4C.
Common Survey Design Mistakes
Learn the most common ways surveys go wrong — and how to avoid them. This module will help your organization assess whether an existing survey is giving you reliable data, and what to fix if it isn't.
Other Ways to Measure Your Impact
Surveys are only one tool. This module walks through the rich sources of data most organizations already have — program records, service milestones, attendance patterns, case notes, administrative data, and more — and helps you identify which are most relevant to your program's key measurement questions.
