For R.O.C.K., the best part about the cohort learning that we're doing is hearing about what other challenges other organizations are facing around metrics and data gathering, but also hearing about what solutions they've found for themselves. I feel like I'm learning something new to bring back to R.O.C.K. after each session, and I really hope I'm leading others with some of our lessons learned as well.

Hanna Doer

Deputy Director, R.O.C.K (Real Options for City Kids)

We are huge fans of this UpMetrics project... something that's so exciting is that we're able to conceptualize how to use the data that we already have and also teasing out and understanding ways that we can create and adapt data that's person-centered and participant led... I also want to shout out our colleagues in the cohort, it's a brilliant group of people and we're learning a lot from them.
