Youth Leadership Resiliency Indicators (YLRI) Framework

Co-created with youth organizers.

Validated by data.

Designed to be the new standard for measuring leadership.

We evaluate the effectiveness of our coaching programs through our proprietary YLRI framework. 

YLRIs are measurable signals that an organization is strengthening internal leadership capacity.

These indicators track how well young leaders are developing:

  • resilience

  • strategic thinking

  • confidence

  • wellness practices

  • team collaboration

  • sustained energy for organizing

These competencies keep movements strong and focused on building long-term power.

Coaching is the most effective way to improve YLRI outcomes. Therefore, the framework works best when young leaders can access coaching.
