Community Impact

A New Leaf provides an annual report to the public regarding progress in serving the most vulnerable populations in the Valley. We use pre- and post-standardized assessments, which allow adults and children to report and see changes in their skills as they participate in our programs. Standardized assessments also enable A New Leaf to track improvement and trends over time. Additionally, A New Leaf . . . .
