PSAYDN webinar focuses on data in OST programs

The Pennsylvania Afterschool and Youth Development Network will sponsor a “virtual meeting”  on lessons learned and tips and tricks for successful data collection and program evaluation.  The webinar will provide an opportunity to learn from others how Pennsylvania providers are building outcome-driven programs, how the outcome data can actually strengthen the overall system of afterschool in a region, and practical next steps that can be taken to launch a data collection and program evaluation effort in an organization.

Panelists include Tim Weidemann, founding Principal of Rondout Consulting, a New York based advisory firm that specializes in public and not-for-profit capacity-building; Andrea DiMola, Program Evaluation Manager, Southeast Philadelphia Collaborative, where she works with a variety of youth-serving programs to create and implement plans for tracking data and outcomes; and Aimee LeFevers, Quality Campaign Director, Allegheny Partners for Out of School Time, a partnership of funders, intermediaries and providers dedicated to building a quality OST system that will contribute to the healthy successful development of young people as they progress through their school years, graduate from high school and enter into adulthood.

The online workshop will take place on June 15th from 10:30am to noon.  For more information or to register, go here.
