Manual for operational impact and assessment coaching

In the spring of 2023, the Finnish National Youth Council Allianssi, Sivis Study Centre and the Youth Work Centre of Expertise Kentauri jointly implemented impact coaching for organisational operators. The coaching was carried out as part of the “Evaluation and monitoring of the activities of youth organisations in the Nordics - what could be learned among the Nordic countries?” project, which has been implemented in 2021–2023 with funding from the Nordic Council of Ministers.In this manual, you will find the starting points and objectives of the impact coaching. The manual describes the process as a whole, and it allows the impact coaching to be carried out, for example, by an umbrella organisation for member organisations. We hope that the model would make it easier to increase expertise related to impacting and its assessment in the Finnish and Nordic youth organisation sector.
