Every year, YouthBuild Global compiles all the data from YouthBuild Affiliate programs around the country to get an idea of how the field is doing. We use this data for fundraising, advocacy and technical assistance. So all that data you’ve been entering into DYB about your students is really important! Here is how to check your Cohort 2022-23 Data to make sure what you’ve submitted is accurate. 

*Keep in mind that for the purposes of evaluation, YouthBuild Global defines the 2022 - 23 Cohort Year as students who have exited your YouthBuild program from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

1. Annual Survey Responses

Your program will be asked to update the Annual Survey section this quarter. You can find it by clicking on Overview from the left side menu. Then under the Program Data Summary section, click on Annual Survey.

 

 

 

It’s just 4-6 short questions, make sure the info is right and nothing has changed for your program. If so, make updates and Save.

*NOTE: Please also check your Program Model page and be sure that the program information there is current and accurate. It is accessible from either the Overview page when you login into DYB or the top of the Annual Survey page.

2. Look at Affiliated Network Performance Measures Filtered by Tag for Cohort 2022-23

It's easy to look at your student outcomes in the AffNet Reports. Never done it before? Follow these instructions.

Click on Reports from the left-side menu. Then choose See all Affiliated Network Measures found underneath the four dials.

 

 

Now you see all 10 Affiliated Network Performance Standards.  Currently, the default tag is set to the 2022-23 Cohort Year. This default tag will switch over to 2023-24, the Cohort Year currently in progress, on February 1, 2024.  At that time the default tag will need to be switched to view 2023-24 Cohort Year data.

Currently, the default tag is showing your program's outcomes for the 2022-23 Cohort Year: students who have exited your program from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2023.

Your job is to check each of these ten reports to make sure the data is correct and that nothing seems fishy or incomplete. To do this, click View Details under each report dial.

 

 

 

This allows to you drill into each report and see the names of the students included in each metric and their corresponding outcomes. Be sure to roll your mouse over the black question mark in the upper right corner of each report for a refresher on how the measure is calculated.
