Program Evaluation is like writing a recipe for your favourite dish. It helps us to describe the ‘critical ingredients’ of your youth program. Process evaluation helps to identify your program’s activities (recipe) that makes your program what it is it. What is your youth program’s “recipe”? What are the key components (activities / interventions)?

The key components of our youth program is building trust with our stakehokders, using a collaborative approach to build rapport with the youth in the community. Recruiting mentors with similar lived experiences can help youth relate better. Collecting data by doing surveys. Building positive relationships with youth from the communtiy allows us to determine their needs.

We really like to include co-design with the youth we work with at every opportunity. From the planning phase to the running of the program to evaluation (when possible), and even revamping programs once a cohort has completed them. This allows the youth voice to be present throughout the process.

I like to do pre and post-evaluation for my programs. I make sure the youths that participate in this program know the importance of the evaluations and what difference they will have in making the program a success (In the sense that it yields the intended change/ impact it was developed for)
