Program Evaluations

Our program evaluations assess the effectiveness and efficiency of organizational initiatives. We work with clients to define key evaluation questions, employ rigorous data collection methods, and conduct thorough analysis. Our reports provide clear, actionable insights to improve program outcomes. We maintain open communication throughout the process to ensure the evaluation meets client needs and supports informed decision-making.

Assessment & Review

We perform thorough needs assessments to identify barriers to access and inclusion. This involves reviewing documents, conducting equity audits, and engaging stakeholders.

We engage stakeholders to ensure diverse perspectives are included. The final strategic plan offers a clear roadmap for integrating reconciliation and equity into all operations.
