| Abstract:
The presentation will describe the experience, problems and possibilities of involving youth citizens of small municipalities into promoting youth based community development . It is based on Siberian Center's project 'The Youth Opportunities Unlimited' implemented in 18 pilot municipalities (small towns and rural areas) in 5 regions of Russia in 2010-2012.
The future of any country depends on its young people. Still, SCISC does not see any indication of diminishing outflow from villages, towns and small cities, nor any youth programs producing results that provide young people compelling reasons to stay.
In 2011 year SCISC have spent the needs and resource assessment of 18th communities from 5 regions of Russia. Communities consisted from 136 people of the population to 25 000 people. We presented results of assessments and suggested to design a new program with the goal of promoting youth based community development to Heads of villages and cities.

| Abstract:
Values are instrinsic to character development education as well as in evaluation. How does one go about assessing the value of a value? How does one extricate the values of the evaluator from those of the program, stakeholders, and/or participants? This presentation explores the design and implementation of a youth character development program evaluation project within a non-profit setting. Beginning with a summary of various programs and instrumentation related to evaluating character development education, the assumptions in the conceptualization of the programs and the value-laden decision points for the evaluator are discussed. Challenges and lessons learned in operationalizing and measuring outcomes will be shared.
