“Can you show me how other youth environmental education programs measure impact?
The Request
A program director at a local youth nonprofit is developing an impact report for a creative environmental program that blends art, science, and outdoor learning. They want to understand how similar organizations describe outcomes related to youth engagement, environmental stewardship, and skill-building.
