We use a range of methodologies—including ongoing training and technical assistance, equity reviews, and in-depth participatory case studies—to identify which programs work for diverse youth, how these programs work, and how an existing program’s potential can be maximized.

Students from Communities That Are Underserved

Abt partners with non-profit organizations and local, state, and federal education agencies who deliver and oversee school-based supports, teen pregnancy prevention programs, after-school, and summer programs that aim to meet the needs of young people. We evaluate these programs, bringing a strengths-based and equity-centered mindset to our work and meeting organizations where they are as a starting point. From there, we work together to co-develop goals and an approach for each project, and then monitor progress towards those goals.
