Youth Literacy NON-PROFIT

SROI is derived by the listing’s ability to improve the academic achievement of students through increasing their knowledge and skills, school attendance, and time devoted to schoolwork by providing additional, special, or remedial academic instruction and guidance.

SROI in this market is dependent on the reading literacy achieved by a client while in a nonprofit’s program. Nonprofits that don’t adequately test the literacy rates before and after participation in a program should receive appropriately lower social dollar valuations than nonprofits that do test.
