Impact
LIFE began in Georgia so the model could be tracked, reported, and responsibly scaled. Early hosts in Atlanta, GA and Austin, TX now help prove that the same shared-LIFE cooking experience approach can travel while remaining accountable.
Grants, donors, and public schools need proof that a shared LIFE cooking experience movement moves real numbers. Measurement keeps the nonprofit mission accountable, protects families who volunteer their time, and ensures the LIFE framework remains replicable as it reaches new communities.
Values are reported quarterly. Categories below show what is being logged today.
LIFE Cooking Experiences Registered
Every LIFE cooking experience hosted in Atlanta, GA and Austin, TX is logged with date, host, and attendance so trend lines can be published during quarterly reviews.
People Reached
Contact logs track how many neighbors, faith communities, or partner orgs are touched by the pilot. Public dashboards will expand as the sample grows.
Assessment Insights
Aggregated, anonymized LIFE Longevity Assessment data highlights which pillars need more coaching in each community cluster.
Host Progression
Hosts who advance from attendee → host → multi-LIFE cooking experience champion signal that the replication model is working. We currently count each Champion who commits to three or more LIFE cooking experiences per year.
LIFE Host Champions are volunteer leaders who commit to at least three LIFE cooking experiences per year. They mentor new hosts, keep ingredients simple, and share data after every cooking experience. Their commitment is what turns a single LIFE cooking experience into a measurable neighborhood movement.
Current pilot goal: 12 Champions per city
