HOW WE MEASURE IMPACT

Measuring what
truly matters

To evaluate the effectiveness of our programs, we developed a structured data collection process measuring changes in participants’ wellbeing across six domains. Each participant completes pre- and post-program surveys, and we gather feedback from partner organizations and teachers. Results inform case studies, stories, and reports shared with communities, teachers, and funders.

  • Emotional Resilience
  • Stress & Anxiety
  • Sense of Connection (Self, Others, Nature)
  • Purpose & Meaning
  • Physical Relaxation & Presence
  • Ecological Awareness
