This page is dedicated to providing resources from throughout the Phillips Brooks House Association of example assessments and evaluations. Assessment and evaluation are marks of quality programs because they integrate input from key stakeholders (participants, family members, community partners, and staff) to ensure that one’s program is operating at its full potential. These resources are meant to help interested directors and volunteers to design their own evaluations. To learn more, contact PBHA’s Programming Chairs at pbha.pc@gmail.com and ask about being a part of PBHA’s annual assessment cohort which provides training and additional hands-on coaching for programs who are committed to enhancing its evaluation and assessment procedures.

Massachusetts After-School Research Study (MARS): In 2005, the Wellesley Centers for Women published a report on Massachusetts After-School programs. Based upon research between 2003 and 2004, they utilized the SAYO (Survey of Afterschool Youth Outcomes) to measure the youth outcomes of these programs.
