In the ever-evolving landscape of youth development, ensuring the highest quality of support for our high-school-aged youth is paramount. That’s why we’re excited to introduce you to the Benchmark of Quality (BoQ) framework—a powerful tool designed to elevate the effectiveness of in- and out-of-school programs.
Why the BoQ Matters
At its core, the BoQ is more than just a framework; it’s a roadmap toward excellence. Developed through collaborative efforts and informed by research-backed domains, the BoQ sets forth a comprehensive approach to assessing and enhancing program quality by centering the mental health and well-being of youth. By focusing on five critical domains—Supportive Environment, Program Quality, Professional Development, Community Partnership, and Continuous Improvement—the BoQ empowers providers to align their practices with the latest insights in holistic youth development.
Empowering Change
The true power of the BoQ lies in its adaptability and scalability. Whether you’re a school district, a community organization, or an afterschool program, the BoQ offers a flexible framework or scaffold that can be tailored to suit your unique context. By utilizing the BoQ as a self-evaluation and continuous improvement tool, providers can identify areas of strength and areas for growth, ultimately leading to enhanced outcomes for our youth.
