Local evaluations contribute to the evidence base about SRAE programming. SRAE grant recipients can conduct descriptive evaluations, impact evaluations, or comprehensive needs assessments. Find technical assistance resources to support high-quality evaluations below.
Descriptive Evaluation
SRAE grant recipients can use descriptive evaluation to describe and document what happens in their programs. Descriptive evaluation activities can include assessing program implementation, pre-post changes in youth outcomes, longer-term change in youth outcomes, or correlations between youth or program characteristics and outcomes. These resources can support grant recipients and their evaluators conducting or interested in a local descriptive evaluation.
