YFS knows that if we understand people, learn from evidence and experience, and use this knowledge to influence the world around us, we can equip people and communities to thrive.
We strive to understand community needs and design tailored, integrated and impactful services that lead to meaningful, positive change.
YFS’ Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Framework outlines how we use evidence, data and lived experience insights to inform service design, measure outcomes and maximise our impact. Our process is broken down into four steps.
Using research, our data and what clients tell us to shape service design and delivery.
Tracking who we support, what we do, and what’s changing for people.
Understanding what’s working, what difference we’re making, and why.
Using learnings to improve service delivery and shape better systems.
YFS has published many evaluations across its range of services. See some of our most recent learnings here.
We use data and evidence from our evaluations in different ways to support our clients’ needs. By prioritising evaluation and continuous learning, YFS can advance our Strategic Roadmap to continue delivering consistent, practical support when it matters most.
Using evaluation data internally to refine programs, fill gaps, and improve outcomes for clients.
Sharing knowledge with partners and communities to build sector understanding and strengthen service responses.
Using evidence to influence policies, funding decisions, and systems to better meet community needs.
