Case Study: Boys To Men Tucson shows full youth outcomes with SoPact

Boys To Men Tucson lifts youth feeling known from 61% to 73% with SoPact

Boys to Men Tucson, a nonprofit serving youth in Arizona, needed to move beyond simple attendance tracking to demonstrate true program outcomes to its funders. Their challenge was to follow individual youth across 23 different program sites and compare matched baseline and endline data, including results that were not positive. They partnered with SoPact for its impact measurement technology and expertise to guide their journey.

By implementing SoPact's solution, Boys to Men Tucson was able to use unique IDs to link data for 198 youth, enabling powerful matched analysis. This revealed meaningful outcomes: the number of youth who felt a adult knew them well increased from 61% to 73%, with 58% of those who initially disagreed moving into agreement. The solution also made visible challenging findings, such as an increase in some substance use, allowing for honest reporting and program refinement. SoPact's platform provided the critical data infrastructure to show the full picture of their impact.
