Getting to the Heart of Community: Culturally Responsive Evaluations

Evaluation is about documenting a legacy that perpetuates generations from now and the intent of this report is to present a process for communities or organizations wanting to design an evaluation framework that prioritizes their own values and objectives. The steps within this report are not intended to fit all communities or organizations, but to illustrate how one community did it (and are still doing it). Ultimately, this is both a celebration of how the Zuni Youth Enrichment Project reclaims evaluation methodologies and a specific case to share knowledge. The third part of this report presents qualitative and quantitative analysis on data, as an integration of Western methodology. This section takes the work to a technical level and requires some proficiency in statistics and epidemiology for those who have their hearts in data analysis. We know you are out there.
