PLEASE REFER TO OUR YEAR-END REPORT 2008 NARRATIVE FOR A STATISTICAL BREAKDOWN OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WE HAVE IMPACTED OVER THE PAST YEAR.HOW WE MEASURE OUR SUCCESS:1. A NEW WAY THAT WE MEASURE OUR SUCCESS, IS BY THE FACT THAT OTHER NON-PROFITS, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES ASK FOR OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES AND WE ALSO CONTINUE TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY AND INCLUDED WITH LARGER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS (NAMES UPON REQUEST). 2. WE MEASURE OUR PROGRESS EACH YEAR THROUGH COMPILING DATA COLLECTED THROUGH SURVEYS, IN-SERVICES, STORIES AND MORE SURVEYS INTO AN EXTENSIVE REPORT THAT IS OFTEN INCLUDED IN OUR SIMPLE CURRICULUM FOR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, FAMILIES AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. EVEN OUR ANGELS AT RISK 2019 EVENT WAS CURRICULUM AND SURVEY-BASED. OUR CURRENT REPORT FOR 2011-2012 IS 45 PAGES OF DATA AND STORIES. 3. WE ALSO MEASURE OUR SUCCESS IN ANOTHER UNIQUE WAY. ANGELS AT RISK'S PREVENTION EDUCATION AND INTERVENTION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ENCOURAGE FAMILIES TO GET MORE HELP IN ALL FORMS OF COUNSELING, WHETHER IT BE IN THE SCHOOLS OR OUTSIDE COUNSELING. WE ARE THE BEGINNING OF A JOURNEY. BECAUSE FAMILIES OFTEN REACH OUT FOR FURTHER COUNSELING, WE KNOW THAT WHAT WE DO IS CRUCIAL AND CRITICAL. 4. WE MEASURE OUR SUCCESS BY THE STEADFAST REPUTATION WE HAVE GAINED AND SUSTAINED AND BY THE ASTRONOMICAL GROWING DEMAND FOR OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WE CANNOT FULFILL DUE TO FUNDING.
