Intentional Design

We are uniquely positioned to guide you through the design process with an eye towards equity, inclusion, and impact. Whether you want to elevate or enhance your current youth services or design a program from scratch, we can support you as you intentionally design to meet your desired outcomes.

Customized Coaching

We tap into our rich toolbox of effective practices to help organizations strengthen their operations, implementation, and measurement. Appropriate for single organizations or groups of providers with similar challenges, our coaching employs a blend of learning strategies to go deeper on specific topics of interest.

Continuous Improvement

This suite of tools and services is designed to help partners identify where to invest effort to elevate quality and improve outcomes. An initial interview with leadership complemented by quality tools, observations or site visits gives us knowledge about your desired impact and goals. After our initial assessment, we then support real-time program enhancements through a customized dashboard and follow-up coaching sessions.

Planning for Growth

We have unique expertise in helping partners transform the way they do business to better meet youth needs and scale services. Through coaching and collaboration, we help partners package content, ready staff, and pilot innovations that lead to greater sustainability.

Evaluation and Assessment

SCRI offers a range of evaluation and assessment tools and templates, as well as comprehensive evaluation services. We measure academic progress, social and emotional learning, quality, and perceptions about the program across a variety of stakeholders. We act as a back-end evaluator for organizations without the capacity to do it themselves.

Strategy Development

Working in more than 150 communities nationwide has given us keen insights into how partners can work together across sectors to provide high-quality learning experiences for young people. We connect with your key stakeholders to document your community’s unique context and recommend structures and strategies to serve more youth in high-quality programs.
