Equipping the Field of Community Engagement
Evaluation Fellows Program
The Evaluation Fellows Program (EFP) is an experiential program designed to bring together community engagement practitioners, evaluators, and funders to work collaboratively–learning from experts and each other–as they examine the evaluation of community engagement efforts.
This program is supported through a partnership with the Minnesota Evaluation Studies Institute (MESI) in the University of Minnesota’s Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development.
The pilot program launched in February 2018 – for more information on how to get involved, contact EFP@nexuscp.org.
