RMYF seeks to identify through the most valid evaluation possible, innovative practices that are effective at helping youth reach their full potential. The vast majority of evaluation grant applicants who are not funded have one or both of the following weaknesses:
- The application does not make a compelling case that the programming or services they offer youth are innovative. Learn what we mean by innovative.
- The application does not effectively describe an evaluation that measures outcomes in youth. Learn what we mean by evaluation.
