    Abstract:

    Nucleos presents, "One Person. One Plan. Many Partners." Every individual on a second-chance journey has a different story, different challenges, and different goals. A one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work. In this webinar, we’ll explore how personalized learning and support pathways can help individuals identify their strengths, address their needs, and build a meaningful path forward. Through the Nucleos platform, education, career development, mental health resources, reentry support, and essential soft skills can come together to form a coordinated strategy for success. When these services are connected through trusted partners, organizations can move beyond separate programs and create a support system tailored to each person. Because real progress happens when we focus on one person, create one plan, and bring together many partners.

    Abstract:

    Programmatic evaluations not only show fidelity or effectiveness of an intervention but also allow for continuous improvement of services and make an organization more appealing to funders. Yet, evaluations also come with challenges and many organizations struggle to determine whether they are ready to use their data for research purposes. Evaluability assessments gather essential information about a program’s functioning and equip organizational leadership to ensure that programs are on the right track and set up for success in an evaluation. The Petey Greene Program (PGP) and RTI International (RTI) will present a case study of the PGP’s College Bridge Program, describing the process through which organizations can proactively strengthen their capacity and readiness to conduct a more rigorous evaluation of their programs. First, the PGP will describe the College Bridge Program model, rationale for evaluating it, and considerations for knowing when and how to prepare for an evaluation. RTI will then discuss common considerations, the role and importance of evaluability assessments, and the types of organizational practices and documentation often explored during this process. The webinar outlines the activities associated with evaluability assessment, key findings, and lessons learned from the current evaluability assessment and capacity-building exercises that organizations can implement to become more adequately prepared for evaluation.

    Abstract:

    Comprehensive community development is defined as the "place-based and intentional approach aimed at improving lives and strengthening communities and works at the intersection of people, places, and systems." By creating a shared vision, unified strategy, and a collaborative structure to attract and deploy resources, comprehensive community development creates vibrant local communities that offer people equitable opportunities to thrive. It is also built on a foundation of inclusive resident engagement, which is central to creating and sustaining positive change.
    NeighborWorks America (NWA) is the founder of this strategic thinking and today, this 45-year-old national nonprofit exists to make grants that impact local communities in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. NWA also supports organizations and individuals engaged in this work through many types of capacity-building and training opportunities. NeighborWorks is known as the premier provider of professional learning for the affordable housing and community development field. Participants will hear from two NWA network organizations about best practices and the benefits of NeighborWorks training and how professional development can impact individuals and communities!
