In 2013 program components started to take shape, and leadership saw the need to create pre- and post-program surveys to document changes as a result of the programming offered during the whole school year. Surveys for youth and parents were developed, and they have evolved throughout the years as leadership moves to a culturally relevant evaluation model with an eye on evidence-based practices.
