Empowerment and employability outcomes of the organisation contribute to the relief of poverty and the reduction of negative impacts which are associated with it. The benefits are demonstrated in our annual report and through feedback from participants through the use of our Now & Then evaluation tool. We also use external evaluations as an independent verification of our impacts. The beneficiaries of Challenge for Youth are primarily young people aged 12 – 25 who have experienced disadvantage in their lives. The impact of this work including personal development, education and employability creates a secondary benefit to the families and communities of the young people who participate. There are private benefits to staff in the form of salaries, however, these are necessary in order to ensure the running of the organisation so that it can fulfil its purposes. There is no harm flowing from the purposes.
