Strategic Planning & Program Development

Our mission is to work with organizations to develop effective, sustainable programs from their very inception.  We provide community-centered strategic planning that addresses broad-based issues for which there are no clear solutions or resources.  Our strategic planning service provides your organization with a streamlined approach to thoroughly understanding the needs of your target community and identifying the best methods for successfully meeting those needs.

Real Change is Community-Driven.

We specialize in researching current issues among communities and identifying their underlying causes.  To do this, we conduct surveys and meetings, bring together expert evaluations, and compile pertinent information surrounding the issue.  Throughout our research, we strive to include as many community members involved in or affected by the program as possible.  Consistent involvement of community members not only helps you define your program’s goal, but also helps to raise necessary community awareness of and support for your program, which has been shown to make programs more effective in the long run.

Understanding the complexity of current issues in a community helps to identify underlying causes.  As an underlying cause becomes clear, we will help you better define goals and strategies that are most effective and realizable.  In the end, we will help you to formulate clear, realizable goals and develop an effective program that will have high impact and sustainability.

Program Evaluation

Our organization specializes in developing objective methods for independently evaluating the effectiveness of your program based on its specific goals and objectives. We will work with your organization to research how impactful your services have been, and how your program can be successfully improved to provide higher impact and increased sustainability.
