Impact scores of youth mentoring programs are based on estimated future income generated for high school graduates that would not have otherwise graduated, relative to cost. Programs receive an Impact score of 100 if they increase income for a graduate by more than $1.50 for every $1 spent and a score of 80 if income increases by more than $0.85 for every $1 spent. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 65.

This impact score was determined through the Youth Mentoring methodology which is fully detailed in the Charity Navigator Guide to Ratings.
