Goals/Evaluation
“The …United Way of America manual, Measuring Program Outcomes: A
Practical Approach … defines program outcomes as ‘benefits or changes for
participants during or after their involvement with a program’ (p. 2). Merely
attending the program does not represent an outcome. Outcomes are
something that the program participant is, has, or does in response to the
service provided. This is distinct from program outputs, which are the number
of units of service delivered or the number of people served.
Said another way, outputs are about the program,
while outcomes are about the participants.”

Goals/Evaluation
Deep Center
FY14 GOAL 1. Improve students’ writing
skills.
Nearly 100% of students who participate in our
writing program demonstrated improved
writing skills, and they perform better, on
average, than their peers in the district. The
following graphs illustrate these findings.
Currently, nearly a third of eighth grade students
in Savannah-Chatham County enter
high school illiterate, failing to meet the minimum
standards on the state writing test.
Among DeepKids, that rate is half (just 15%),
and after just three months of
programming. (It is noteworthy that we tend to
work with the students who are already
low-performing, which makes this number even
more remarkable.)
