Impacting students, changing lives
Our impact on students is life-changing. To measure impact, we administer the same pre-test and post-test to participants, including behavioral and financial skills questions. We compare the results to determine the overall improvement. The tests directly measure knowledge, skill building and behavioral improvement before and after completing our programs.

KYD measures results by % improvement from pre-program to post-program testing (identical test),
