Big Brothers Big Sisters of America National Conference
Every year, leaders from corporations, community organizations, the field of mentoring and youth development, and Big Brothers Big Sisters affiliates come together to learn, network, and celebrate at the Big Brothers Big Sisters National Conference. Join us for a session about the Youth Wellness Index, an initiative for which Equal Measure serves as learning and evaluation partner:
SUPER SESSION: Better Data. Stronger Mentoring. A First Look at the Youth Wellness Index
Wednesday, June 17, 2026
11 a.m.–12:30 p.m. ET
For years, staff from across the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) network have told us the same thing: youth outcome data matters—but the Youth Outcomes Survey (YOS) can feel long, hard to translate into action, and difficult to use for storytelling. We listened. The Youth Wellness Index (YWI) is our next step forward, designed to make youth outcome data clearer, more actionable, and more aligned with the real work of mentoring.
This highly interactive session gives you a hands-on look at the Youth Wellness Index prototype (the “beta” version before we do a full build). Participants won’t just hear about the Index. You’ll get to kick the tires, take the new survey, and click on the new Power BI dashboards.
You’ll also hear what we learned from youth, agencies, and researchers that shaped what stayed, what changed, and what we are still testing. Most importantly, this is your opportunity to help shape what comes next. Your feedback will directly influence how the Index evolves before full build and network rollout.
Presenters: Leon D. Caldwell, Chief Strategy and Equity Officer, Equal Measure; Ginneh Baugh, Chief Impact Officer, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America; Princess Awa-Ada Kisob, Vice President of Programs, Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities; Stephanie Hurley Collier; Executive Director, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tri-State; Diego Guilian Hernandez, Little Ambassador; Tyrelle Henley, Jr., Little Ambassador
