| Abstract: The Seven Cs Social Change Framework provides a method for conceptualizing, planning for, and evaluating social change initiatives. As the focus on "systems change" and social change initiatives continues to grow within both the funding and programming communities, the need for a method of measuring the progress of these initiatives is becoming more apparent. The Seven Cs Social Change Framework provides a method that helps to bridge the divide between direct service programming and systems change, providing a systems-based approach to assessment and evaluation that can be tailored to the unique aspects of different initiatives as well as the unique aspects of different sites within a single initiative. This workshop will demonstrate how to apply the conceptual framework provided by the Seven Cs Social Change Framework to a variety of change initiatives. |
