About this session: Program evaluation is becoming a known necessity in ensuring intended impact for nonprofits and beyond. However, evaluation can be done in various ways and unfortunately, there are evaluations that are disconnected from the people organizations serve both interpersonally and culturally, making them vulnerable to invalid results and conclusions. Culturally Responsive Evaluation (CRE) is an evaluation approach that is designed to ensure cultural integration, community inclusion, and contextual responsiveness. It has values and goals of social equity and structural change towards justice. This workshop will introduce CRE and examples of its application.
