Is your organization
able to evaluate your work as it happens and to connect the results of your efforts to the
outcomes you are trying to affect?
Evaluation is challenging for community level initiatives. Many community members are
familiar with program evaluation but find it difficult to translate this experience
into initiative or coalition evaluation. When volunteers attempt to change
community-wide outcomes such as rates of drug use for all young people in a
county, traditional programmatic evaluation will not work. CSG has helped
numerous communities establish an evaluation system that is designed
specifically to support community-wide work and make improvement,
coordination and accountability possible. CSG supplies tools
that make the evaluation process easier for communities and
allow local staff and volunteers to manage the complete
evaluation process.
