The evaluations were funded by the Australian Government. The Independent Outcome evaluation compared the outcomes for young people in the Raise Youth Mentoring program to a matched control group of other young people. The evaluation found that Raise Youth Mentoring caused positive outcomes across the domains of help seeking, resilience, hope for the future and school engagement. This means that young people have better outcomes than other similar young people after six months of Raise Youth Mentoring (see opposite page, top).
The Independent Economic evaluation calculated a Social Return on Investment (SROI) of Raise Youth Mentoring. The SROI was calculated by measuring the program costs and the expected benefits to our community. The evaluation found that Raise Youth Mentoring returns $4.37 in social benefits for every $1 invested (see opposite page, below). We are grateful for the support from the Evaluation Advisory Group members who provided advice and review for the evaluations from design through to completion.
