Program Evaluation
"Nuts and Bolts of Program Evaluation" Workshop
This community capacity-building workshop is for community-based organizations interested in developing effective program evaluation skills. This program is designed specifically to build capacity for community organizations in Program Evaluation skills. JHU students, faculty, and staff are ineligible to participate.
The Urban Health Institute offers three capacity-building workshops a year as an opportunity for community-based organizations to refine their skills in areas such as grant writing, financial management, and program evaluation.
The workshops attract participants from a wide range of community-serving organizations in Baltimore and it is our goal to respond to community issues by making the expertise of JHU affiliates accessible.
Workshop Summary:
A well-designed evaluation allows organizations to demonstrate the impact of their program in the community, make a case for support, and identify components of a program that need to be changed or eliminated. In “Nuts and Bolts of Program Evaluation" participants will learn how to:
- Describe programs from an evaluation perspective
- Gain knowledge and practice for developing a program logic model
- Explore the different types of evaluations
- Learn new monitoring and evaluation concepts
