A standard evaluation form

Use this resource (especially appropriate for youth and school-based programs) to:

• Give feedback to sites to help build capacity
• Create a document to help in host site application review process
• Help report on site development/improvement over time
• Create a standard list for visits that ensures staff cover all major program topics

This checklist was created by Minnesota Alliance With Youth Promise Fellows (Minneapolis, MN), an AmeriCorps*State program that works with schools and communities managing tutoring, mentoring, and service-learning programs.

The Alliance gives the checklist--without the ratings-to their host sites so they know what the program is looking for during visits. They use the information not only to evaluate the site's effectiveness, but also for targeted member support.
