Building a Unified Evaluation Model with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Halifax

Issue

Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Halifax provide safe, supportive spaces where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships, and develop confidence and skills for life. They have six sites across HRM, and all were using different evaluation approaches and methods to measure success.

Solution

See Meaning created a purposeful and comprehensive evaluation framework and engaging collection tools for all 6 sites, including participatory and youth-friendly evaluation methods. See Meaning’s James Neish created a digital graphic visualizing the model for success be used by staff and volunteers across all six sites.

End Result

Instead of six different evaluation frameworks, the six clubs now work from the same model for success. Evaluation is streamlined and more easily accessible for parents, community members, volunteers, staff, and donors.
