2015 - 2016 ANNUAL REPORT Employing Youth. Inspiring Excellence. Dear Friends,

5.5 MILLION.

That’s the number of young people in this country who are neither in school nor working. It’s clearer now than ever before that young people need early access to meaningful employment opportunities to help them seamlessly transition into adulthood. This past year, Urban Alliance served nearly 1,500 young people with critical workforce training and exposure to the professional world through our internship programs. At a time when so many young people are in need of these early employment opportunities, Urban Alliance is dedicated to increasing the number of youth served each year while continuing to call attention to the significant challenges of youth disconnection.

While striving to serve more young people, Urban Alliance is also focused on ensuring that our work is having a powerful impact on our participants. In May, the Urban Institute released the first set of findings from a multi-year, multi-site randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the Urban Alliance program design and we were humbled by the findings. The study found that Urban Alliance has a profound impact on college access—particularly for boys. Now, others are noticing ESHAUNA SMITH what we’ve always known: early and meaningful work experience can change young Chief Executive Officer people’s life trajectory.

The US Department of Education also took notice. On the heels of our RCT results, we were granted a five-year, $9.6 million Investing in Innovation (i3) grant—one of 15 awardees from over 400 applicants across the nation. Winning this award is a testament to years of work by dedicated staff members, ongoing support of our partners, and most importantly, the hard work of our young people. This funding will support the goals outlined in UA’s ambitious strategic plan which include significant growth in all current regions and expansion to a fifth region in 2018. In addition, the i3 grant will allow us to extend the first RCT and test the success of our program across different regions through a second RCT.

This is an incredibly important moment—not only for Urban Alliance, but for advocates of youth employment programs everywhere. We’ll be able to serve more young people, both directly through our own enhanced programming, and also by broadly sharing our results and lessons learned.

In closing, we are grateful for the opportunity to serve more young people in the coming years with support from new and existing partners. We are more focused than ever to provide our young people with the training, support, employment opportunities, and professional exposure they need to successfully and confidently transition to adulthood.

Thank you for being part of our work,

Eshauna Smith Chief Executive Officer

To better fulfill this mission, we are constantly evaluating and analyzing our program model, delivery, and results to understand what works and what doesn’t. Our commitment to learning and results is matched only by our commitment to serving our youth.

14 Urban Alliance Annual Report In 2011, we partnered with the Urban Institute, a leading research and evaluation firm, to conduct an extensive evaluation of our High School Internship Program.

Urban Institute’s research design for the UA evaluation, the randomized controlled trial (RCT), is considered the standard of research. Just a small fraction of nonprofits undertakes such a rigorous evaluation. The study followed two cohorts of Urban Alliance applicants to compare the outcomes of youth who participated in the program against those who did not. The Urban Institute released its first set of findings in May 2016. They include:

1 INCREASED COLLEGE ACCESS

Young men completing Urban Alliance’s High School Internship Program increased their likelihood of enrolling in college by 26 percentage points. The study also found that middle-tier students with GPAs between 2.0 and 3.0 who completed the program increased their likelihood of enrolling in 4-year colleges by 21 percentage points.

2 READY FOR THE WORKFORCE

Students offered access to the Urban Alliance program showed a significant and positive difference in comfort levels with key work skills necessary for success in the work place compared to students who did not have access to the program. These findings position Urban Alliance as one of the top employment-based models for youth and one of the few with externally evidenced outcomes for disadvantaged youth and young men of color.

In spring 2017, Urban Institute will release the final report of the study which will capture college persistence. New funding from the Department of Education’s Investing in Innovation (i3) award has launched our second independent study with the Urban Institute—this time evaluating all four regions.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT Andre: From Intern to Engineer Andre attended Anacostia High School and was an intern at World Bank and US Office of Personnel Management during his time with Urban Alliance. After completing our High School Internship Program, Andre enrolled in college and graduated from Temple University. He is currently working as an Engineer Aid at Lockheed Martin. Andre recognizes Urban Alliance’s role in his success. When asked how Urban Alliance impacted his life, Andre stated: “One of the things that I really appreciated about the program was the workshops provided on topics such as effective communication, the importance of budgeting, and even health. I also appreciated the fact that I had someone I could rely on to answer questions on topics pertaining to applying to college and funding for college.” Andre recently shared his success story at the White House during the My Brother’s Keeper What Works Showcase.
