The Tony Grampsas Youth Services (TGYS) program is on a 3-year grant cycle with a current total of 30 funded agencies and 30 funded sub-agencies. Our team analyzes pretest and post-test data collected by agencies on a yearly basis to assess changes among over 5000 participating youth and parents on outcomes such as resilience, self-efficacy, school performance and bonding,  bullying and delinquency, and positive parenting skills

In previous years, TGYS data has demonstrated positive change on outcomes that are closely linked to the TGYS goals of reduced crime and violence. Specifically, Drug Use, Bullying, and Delinquent Behaviors and Attitudes decreased among participants. This kind of positive change generated by TGYS programming is a substantial step toward achieving its major goals.

Positive change has also been established on outcomes that are closely linked to the TGYS goals of reduced child abuse and neglect. The kinds of survey tools used by TGYS reflect whether participating parents feel confident in their knowledge, abilities, and interaction as they relate to their children.
