Youth
EnCompass’ work with youth focuses on creating access to high-quality healthcare and education as well as safe environments through which youth may prosper. A significant share of our work has focused on assisting U.S. government agencies and international organizations in assessing and evaluating their youth-targeted programs, training implementers on better youth-oriented practices, and designing programs to achieve better outcomes.
We have helped clients design, evaluate, and implement programs on a variety of topics, including improving reading outcomes in community schools, increasing services for orphans and vulnerable children, and addressing sexual and reproductive health of adolescents. Our cross-cutting expertise and rich offerings in evaluation, learning and leadership development, and gender analysis help clients engage young people as partners in their growth and development.
