Workshop 1: Designing Your Prevention Program Evaluation
Every prevention professional needs to evaluate their program, but it can feel overwhelming to figure out where to start.
This workshop breaks it down into simple steps. You’ll learn how to map out your program’s goals, build a data and impact plan, and create strong surveys that provide meaningful data.
Workshop 2: Gathering Data to Tell Your Story
Numbers are important, but stories bring prevention work to life. This workshop will teach you how to collect and use qualitative data—real stories, conversations, and feedback—to strengthen your program and communicate its impact.
You’ll learn best practices for running focus groups, interviewing participants, and gathering testimonials that are meaningful and ethical. We’ll also talk about how to combine stories with data to make your evaluation findings more compelling.
Workshop 3: Sharing Your Impact and Communicating Data Effectively
Collecting data is just the first step—sharing it effectively is what makes it useful. In this session, you’ll learn how to communicate your program’s impact in a way that grabs attention and tells a clear story.
We’ll cover simple strategies for writing reports, creating visuals, and tailoring your message for different audiences.
Whether you’re talking to funders, stakeholders, or community members, this workshop will help you make your data work for you.
