How do we know our method is working? We have codified measurement standards based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, and work hand-in-hand with local leaders and families to activate each of these rights so children can reach their full potential.

These rights are at the heart of everything we do. Every child has rights, and our job is to ensure all children realize them. Our Thrive Scale measures progress on the UN Rights of the Child for each child over time…and so we know our best practices are really making a difference.
