Minnesota Youth Council survey results (3 MB PDF)
Katie Richards-Schuster defines participatory evaluation as a process in which people join together and develop knowledge for action and change. It involves people in evaluation, community assessment, policy analysis, and other studies and it can give young people the power to ask their own questions and influence organizations and communities in unexpected ways. She offers that moving towards "evaluation research as program participation" can significantly change how we practice youth work. Join Katie as she shares lessons and innovations from Detroit, Michigan and other cities utilizing youth participatory evaluation, and the implications of this evaluative practice in local communities and the field of youth work.
