YOUTH PARTICIPATORY EVALUATION DEFINITION
❖ Youth Participatory Evaluation or YPE is
Definition from Kim Sabo-Flores
“Youth participatory evaluation involves young people in the process of evaluating the programs, organizations, agencies, and systems that have been designed to serve them.
❖ The YPE process can be completely youth-driven, or it can be
conducted in partnership with adults.

❖ 2013-2014 YLI Quality Team Definition
By Maddy, Pao, Xe, Say Meh, ThengYeng, and Padah
“A youth-driven process, in partnership with adults, that allows for youth and adults to work together, share their opinions, and co-create a process for evaluation.
An opportunity for youth who have experience in the program have an understanding of the program’s core values.
A process of critical analysis of the data collection, resulting in meaningful recommendations that involves stakeholders in taking action to improve the quality of the program; where youth get to evaluate and change their program that benefits all stakeholders in YLI and improve the program quality where youth and adults learn, develop and improve their various evaluation skills, while improving the program itself.”

❖ Notes should include quotes, actions, and other factual information
❖ Rich detail in snapshot form
❖ Focus on interactions
❖ Describe who, what, when, and where including the materials used - what you see in the room
❖ Should be objective - recognize your own bias
❖ Can stand alone - someone should be able to read your anecdote and understand them
❖ Can be used for more than one item
❖ Remember that your notes are all you have to rely on later on in the evaluation process

Y O U T H P R O G R A M Q U A L I T Y A S S E S S M E N T ( Y P Q A ) ● What is it?
○ The YPQA is a systematic method that measures the quality of a program
● How is it done?○ By using your notes you then
use the YPQA packet and rank each section with a 1,3, or 5. with 1 being the the worse and 5 being the best.
● What does it evaluate?○ It is categorized into 4 different
sections: Safe Environment, Supportive Environment, Interaction, and Engagement. By evaluating all 4 of these categories it measures and averages the quality of a program.

it be part of YPE Build trusting relationship with youth – do what you say you will do Youth, don’t be afraid. It’s your program; be the change. There is no
limit to what you can do.
