Data allows School’s Out Washington to shine a light on needs and gaps so that we can move quickly to address what is not working and channel resources accordingly. With good data we can have an impact on children and young people by:

• Influencing policy and practice so that we can increase access to quality programs for young people—especially for low-income and BIPOC youth
• Capturing and maintaining youth and staff demographics data so that we have a lens on who’s being served and by whom
