PEPNet Quality Self Assessment Tool - This online tool enables multiple program staff and other stakeholders to complete the PEPNet Quality Self Assessment electronically. Each user rates the program on how well it currently satisfies each of the PEPNet Standards and respective indicators. The tool combines the individual assessment responses into a summary report of all responses, making it easy to identify areas for improvement.

PEPNet Results Assessment Tool (with benchmarks) - The online Results Assessment tool captures and organizes youth performance data, allowing programs to compare actual performance with program goals as well as with the performance of programs around the country. Users select the outcomes and progress measures their program is currently tracking and enter the corresponding performance data. From that information, the tool generates a results analysis report. For select PEPNet outcomes, the tool also provides benchmarks comparing the program to other programs nationally as well as to a group of programs working in areas of similar population density.

PEPNet Improvement Action Planning Tool - This online tool enables the user to turn areas for improvement identified using either of the PEPNet assessment tools into improvement goals and create an action plan for each goal. The action plan includes action steps, timelines, and assignment of tasks. Once users create one or more action plans, they can revisit the plan(s) online at any time to review or edit the plan, record actions taken, and eventually mark the goal as completed.

PEPNet Online Index to Quality Practices - The Online Index to Quality Practices includes over 1000 specific quality practices identified from 66 nationally recognized (PEPNet Awarded) youth programs and organized by the PEPNet Quality Standards. The Index makes it possible for users to search for information by a specific PEPNet Quality Standard or indicator, practice (examples include follow-up, staff development, youth leadership and employer engagement), youth population served (including urban or rural), program funding stream, organization or any keyword the user chooses. The Index is linked to PEPNet Awardee Profiles, in-depth descriptions of the structure and practices of the 66 programs that received the PEPNet Award for quality practices between 1999 and 2003. These online profiles include contact information, a brief description of the program and its background, mission, funding sources and target population. Each profile also contains examples of the program's quality practices.
