Welcome to the Centre for Youth Impact
We work collaboratively with partners across the UK youth sector to develop shared approaches to learning, evaluation and continuous improvement.
Our vision is that all young people in the UK have access to high quality services that support their social and emotional learning.

Need some bespoke support?
To complement our new Impact and Training Curriculum, we've launched online office hours! Drop us a line (officehours@Youthimpact.uk) if you'd like to schedule a call to chat through your evaluation challenges and questions about continuous quality improvement. Please provide a brief summary of your question or the thought you’d like support working through, and a member of our team will get in touch to finalise a time.
Youth Programme Quality Intervention
Youth Programme Quality Intervention
The YPQI was developed in the US, by the David P. Weikart Center for Youth Program Quality. Extensive research has demonstrated its effectiveness in improving outcomes for young people, promoting a sustainable and supportive culture of organisational reflection and improvement, and refocusing evaluation on the quality of relationships within different settings.
