Data
The OYP is a national leader in shared measurement among Opportunity Youth focused collective impact initiatives.
Shared Measurement Overview
The OYP’s shared measurement system began in November 2014, with 9 partner organization’s contributing data on their Opportunity Youth clients. As of May 2018 we have completed our 8th round of collection with 11 CBOs and two reengagement high schools reporting. All youth included in the shared measurement are tracked along a set of 10 common indicators, with updates occurring at six-month intervals. Over the past four years the OYP collaborative has tracked results for more than 3,000 Opportunity Youth in Santa Clara County.
