Growth You Can See. Skills Girls Can Carry.

Created to Be programs are designed to do more than create a positive experience in the moment.

We want girls to leave with stronger skills, greater confidence, increased awareness, and tangible evidence of what they have learned.

Our programs are built around measurable areas of youth development so schools, families, and community partners can clearly understand what girls are working toward and how growth is being supported.

HOW WE DEFINE IMPACT

Success Is More Than Attendance.

We believe meaningful youth development happens when girls are given opportunities to learn, practice, reflect, and apply new skills.

Depending on the program, impact may look like:

A girl speaking up with greater confidence

A participant demonstrating a practical life skill independently

A student identifying a career pathway she had never considered before

A girl using healthier communication during conflict

A participant completing a written or creative project

A student developing and presenting a business idea

A girl recognizing her own strengths and using them intentionally

A participant setting a goal and creating a plan to move toward it

These moments matter because they show growth that girls can continue using beyond the program.

HOW WE MEASURE GROWTH

Intentional Programs Require Intentional Evaluation.

Created to Be uses age-appropriate evaluation methods to help partners understand what participants are learning and where growth is occurring.

Depending on the program format, measurement may include:

Pre- and post-program surveys

Participant self-assessments

Facilitator observations

Skills checklists

Reflection activities

Goal-setting exercises

Completed projects

Presentations

Portfolio artifacts

Participant feedback

Partner feedback

Program completion data

Longer programs may include multiple checkpoints so progress can be observed throughout the experience rather than measured only at the end.

PORTFOLIO-BASED LEARNING

Girls Should Be Able to See What They Accomplished.

Many Created to Be programs include a tangible project or artifact that gives girls evidence of their own progress.

Depending on the program, participants may leave with:

A personal life-readiness plan

A completed goal-setting project

A business concept or mini business plan

A product or service idea

A career exploration portfolio

A strengths profile

A written story or published work

A presentation

A reflection journal

A communication or relationship plan

A vision for their future

These artifacts make learning visible and give girls something they can revisit, share, and feel proud of.

BUILDING AN EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM

Created to Be is committed to continuously improving our programs through participant feedback, partner input, observation, and outcome data.

As programs are delivered, we will use what we learn to:

Strengthen curriculum

Improve activities

Identify participant needs

Refine evaluation tools

Track long-term program trends

Demonstrate impact to partners and funders

Expand programs that show strong results

Our goal is to build programming that is not only engaging, but increasingly supported by evidence of what works.

WHAT IMPACT SHOULD FEEL LIKE

Data matters.

So does the moment a girl realizes she can do something she did not believe she could do before.

We believe the strongest programs create both.

Measurable growth for partners.

Meaningful growth for girls.

Skills she can demonstrate.

Confidence she can feel.

Possibilities she can see.

That is the impact we are working to create.
