Everyone has a story.
Stories are data.
Data informs change.
Informed Change helps youth-serving organizations tell their story of impact and use data for innovation.
Our Process
The Informed Change Process is rooted in equity-focused qualitative methods that create space for people to feel heard. We work with organizations through four phases: Listen, Learn, Inspire, and Implement.
Values that Guide our Work
A compassionate, anti-racist, equity-focused lens shapes our approach.
We honor diverse voices and experiences.
Our processes are participatory, reflective, and collaborative.

Hello, I’m Jenna.
I am an applied researcher, evaluator, youth worker and educator dedicated to advancing equity with and for young people, their families, schools, and communities.
I have always loved learning about others through their stories. When I began my career in youth work over two decades ago, one of my favorite pastimes was just to sit and listen to young people when they’d flop down on my office couch after school to tell me about their day. Running youth programs for years led me to want to deepen my practice and I landed at the University of Minnesota where I joined the Youth Development Leadership Master’s of Education program and then continued my studies to receive a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on Family, Youth, and Community.
I found that my love of listening to and making sense of stories could be grounded in an applied research and evaluation practice.
