What We Measure
Real outcomes, honestly reported.
H.E.Y. uses a lightweight, student-centered evaluation approach: students complete a follow-up form the next time we see them, so we can track what’s sticking and where we can do better.
We focus on the outcomes that matter most to the students we serve — not clinical measures, but real signs of growth in how they feel, communicate, and cope.
Recall of tools
Do they remember what they learned?
Self-reported confidence
Do they feel more equipped?
Emotional vocabulary growth
Can they name more of what they feel?
Engagement & satisfaction
Did the session feel safe and useful?
Transparency
New organization. Honest about it.
As a new 501(c)(3) incorporated in December 2025, it’s completely normal that H.E.Y. doesn’t yet have 990 history, audited financials, or a long grant record. What we do have is active programming, careful documentation, strong governance, and a genuine commitment to the community we serve.
Documentation
Contracts, receipts, evaluation forms, board minutes — all maintained from day one.
Governance
A 7-member board with active oversight, conflict of interest policies, and proper separation of finances.
Active Delivery
We're already in schools. The work is happening now — not planned for the future.
Help us build on this foundation
Your support — financial or through partnership — directly expands the reach and depth of H.E.Y.’s impact in York County.
