What we track, and why
Business durability

Progress is measured in emergency savings started, credit scores improved, and debt reduced.
Youth engagement
Mentoring pairs are measured by consistency, goal completion, and continued participation.
In their words
Stories behind the numbers
“I walked in for a budgeting class and walked out eighteen months later with a licensed business and two employees.”
“My son taught me what he learned in the tech studio. Now we both use it — he for school, me for my job applications.”
“The credit clinic found three errors on my report. Fixing them changed what I could qualify for.”
