measuring

Measuring what matters

Impact measurement across our portfolio has three pillars: breadth, depth, and equity. These metrics help drive our work and build a more just world.

Breadth of impact

We measure breadth as the number of lives touched, partnerships formed, and communities reached across cohorts.

Depth of change

Depth captures how meaningfully participants grow — skills gained, perspectives shifted, and long-term commitments made.

Equity in access

We track who participates and ensure we remove barriers so students from all backgrounds can join and lead.
