Measuring Steps to Success

Footsteps is an organization that helps Ultra-Orthodox Jews who choose to leave their communities to integrate into broader society. They accomplish this goal by providing emotional, academic, and career development support. These include individual consultations with social workers, social and networking events, career and personal development workshops, as well as referrals to GED-prep organizations. Footsteps has previously conducted a strategic planning process using extensive narrative surveys. The Capstone team’s task was to develop a preliminary impact assessment based on the previously collected data, create a logic model, and propose indicators and measures for Footsteps to use going forward. The final report proposes a series of leading indicators that will give Footsteps the ability to quickly indicate if clients are on the right track and make timely changes to maximize impact.
