Impact Spotlight Series
CYLC’s new Impact Spotlight Series highlights evaluation findings on the impact of CYLC programs for historically marginalized students, community-based partners, and local communities. Check here for regular monthly “Spotlights” presenting data around key outcomes for our programs.
Impact Spotlight Series Volume 4 – August 2024
Enhancing The Capacity of Community Partners CYLC’s Community-Based Partners are essential to the overall successes of our students and communities at large. In June-July of 2024, we conducted online surveys of our CBO partners to learn more about their experiences with the CYLC program and how CYLC Fellows are contributing to their organizations and communities. This Impact Spotlight highlights findings from that survey.
Enhancing Civic Engagement CYLC contributes to students’ identities as a change agent and their beliefs in their own capabilities to change the things they see that are unjust in their communities. Our First Impact Spotlight presents data from student surveys on how CYLC is increasing young people’s capacity to be civically engaged in their communities.
Pathways to Community Change Careers Through their participation in CYLC, students learn that they can have careers in community change, working to address the issues affecting their communities. CYLC students come into the program knowing that they want to serve a purpose and make a positive impact on their community but are not sure how.
