Extension's
capacity to evaluate community-based programs has increased dramatically.
In 2001, the increased capacity was first documented and celebrated. Each
year more programs have been recognized. CYFERnet-Evaluation collaborators
at the University of Arizona and Virginia Tech solicited nominations of
State Strengthening and New Communities Projects that conducted exemplary
program evaluations.
These
programs have been selected for recognition because they show evidence,
through the use of innovative evaluation strategies, of making a difference
in the lives of children, youth, families or communities. Programs were
selected from each of the four national outcome areas: children, youth,
parent/family and community.
