Accountability

At Emerald Youth Foundation we measure our success in not only anecdotal ways—we also look at concrete measurements: how a child does in school, graduation rates, attendance in church, and family interactions.

We believe that as good stewards, we are driven to demonstrate the value of our work and why we ask for support.
