The Brief

The Assignment

Turn a year of enrollment, budget, and outcomes data from 16 youth workforce programs across seven City departments into one accurate, readable report for City leadership and community partners.

The Idea

Structure the year around a clear throughline — mission and approach, then the numbers, then the people — so a reader with five minutes gets the headline impact, and a reader with twenty gets the full program-by-program detail in the appendix.

Audience

City leadership, the Mayor's Office of Economic Opportunity, partner City departments, YouthSource Centers, and the community-based organizations that co-run YSC-LA's 16 programs.

The Product

A 12-page report combining narrative writing, a data-driven “Impact by Numbers” section, a performance-snapshot infographic, and program-by-program profiles for every YSC-LA initiative.
