Building the Evaluation Capacity of the Alberta Mentoring Partnership – Part 3

The goal of the proposed research project is to assist the Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) is building the
capacity of Alberta mentoring organizations to evaluate their mentoring programs using a community-driven
approach. In particular, this year, we hope to develop and implement more accessible supports that will build the
capacity of those organizations who have lower pre-existing knowledge, skills, and motivation to evaluate their
programs. We hope that by helping these organizations build their capacity to gather evidence on their
programs, they will be able to use that evidence to inform the best possible programs, practices, and policies for
supporting children, youth, and families.
