To help development organizations and other actors more effectively measure youth engagement, this resource provides a list of possible ‘targets of measurement’ that could be adapted for measuring engagement of youth in programs, community groups, and governing bodies.The measurement statements are listed in the table.
Individual programs or organizations can use these measurement statements as standards or leverage them to develop indicators for monitoring and evaluating youth engagement. Community groups or government
bodies can use them to set goals for youth participation and inclusion. Finally, young leaders can use them to
determine how well the institutions around them are working with youth. Following this list of measurement
statements is some advice and guidance from those of us who have grappled with the issue of measuring youth
engagement.
