Youth Work SkillsTrack

Recording and demonstrating the impact of youth work

YouthLink Scotland are the national agency for youth work and the collective voice of the sector. We are their development partner for Youth Work SkillsTrack, which we continue to support.

Youth Work SkillsTrack serves two key purposes. First, it provides youth work practitioners with a user-friendly tool to record and track the impact of their sessions on young people. Second, it enables organizations to demonstrate their collective impact to funders through aggregated, anonymized data dashboards.

Built using Next.js, PostgreSQL and Tailwind CSS. Deployed to DigitalOcean App Platform via Github Actions.

We couldn’t be happier with the experience we’ve had of working with Chris and Endre. Not only is the tool they designed exactly what we wanted (and more), their support to help us (and our co-design partners) realise it on behalf of the youth work sector was “above and beyond”. They were really interested in what we were trying to achieve and that together with their expertise, professionalism, friendliness and conscientiousness made them a pleasure to work with. The sprint model worked so well for us, it kept momentum going and it felt that every aspect of the work was purposeful and in-hand. We’re delighted that we will have an ongoing partnership with them as the tool is rolled out. — Jane Dailly (National Grants Manager, YouthLink Scotland)
