Performance Measurement And Management Recommendations

The Arthur Project seeks to end generational poverty through relationship-based learning. It transforms traditional mentoring by using professional mentors to work intensively with at-risk youth through the duration of middle school. Through its innovative model, which is based on establishing strong adult-youth relationships and a sense of belonging, The Arthur Project seeks to reframe the conversation on how best to support underserved youth. To accomplish this paradigm shift, the organization requires a comprehensive approach to measuring the strength of adult-youth relationships. Focusing on this as a fundamental differentiator to ensure short-term program effectiveness and long-term growth, funding opportunities, and impact, the Capstone team collaborated on a revised mission and theory of change, and conducted an environmental scan and literature review. From these, the team distilled recommendations for a framework and set of specific instruments for the client to implement in its performance measurement and management systems.
