Part 1: Ready to Show the True Impact of Your Program?
Evaluation doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. This first session of our hands-on, beginner-friendly training series will take the mystery out of program evaluation and help you see it as a practical tool for improvement, funding, and impact. Whether you’re working in mentoring, prevention, or youth-serving organizations, you’ll begin building the foundation for measuring what matters and telling your program’s story with confidence.

Construct a basic logic model that outlines and connects the key elements of your program to outcomes.
This training is sponsored by The Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services.
