Logic models are extremely useful tools for designing, delivering, and evaluating programs. They help to visually and thoughtfully depict the alignment of program goals, activities, and outcomes, as well as the necessary resources. In this webinar, the presenters will demonstrate the role of logic models in program evaluation and evolution. After the demonstration, participants will have the opportunity to create their logic model for their setting. This will help maximize efficiency and effectiveness, guide program growth and improvement, and increase the potential for success.
