Evaluating Our Success

How do we evaluate our programs for impact? What does success look like? These are great questions for any nonprofit to consider!

For the past 6 months, our AmeriCorps Environmental Educator, Wendy Griesan, has collected quantitative and qualitative data on what success looks like for our education programs. Wendy has developed adaptable surveys for our K-12 programs; kids spend 5-10 minutes at the end of each event letting us know their thoughts and what they’ve learned. Wendy has compiled the data into graphs and metrics that easily communicate the impact of our programs.

The slideshow below shows the key findings and impact from our past 6 months of education programming.

This is just the beginning! We look forward to using these same methods for our spring programs, as well as expanding it to our river education programming.
