SUMMARY:Eval Cafe: Youth Engagement in Evaluation: The Students Commission of Canada’s Approach
DESCRIPTION:The Students Commission of Canada is a national charitable organization that purposely works with others to ensure that young people’s voices are heard and valued. The SCC believes in a world where all young people transition into a positive adulthood. \nThe SCC leads a network called the Centre of Excellence for Youth Engagement\, which focuses on bringing together youth\, academics and organizations to generate and gather research on meaningful youth engagement. For the past 7 years\, the SCC and CEYE have been supporting 300 youth serving organizations to effectively tell their story through rigorous evaluation.

The SCC will present their approach and showcase some of the aggregated data at our next meeting. \nLight snacks will be provided courtesy of CES-Ontario (http://www.evaluationontario.ca/).

SUMMARY:Eval Cafe: OTF’s Evaluation and Measurement Hub Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) had launched an online shared learning environment\, the Knowledge Centre\, to help connect Ontario’s nonprofit sector. This site includes a discussion forum\, and a resource library that will grow with the sector’s engagement. \nThe discussion forums are centered around OTF’s six Action Areas\, and two other topics currently\, evaluation and measurement\, and open data. OTF’s hope is that this site will be a space that can help make connections across the nonprofit sector and where people can share stories\, challenges opportunities\, and important resources. \nAs mentioned above\, one of the discussion forums focuses on evaluation and measurement (Measurement Hub). Come join Stacey McDonald\, the Measurement Hub’s moderator on Tuesday\, July 24th to help us discuss how this space can be useful to people doing evaluative work in the nonprofit sector. OTF wants to hear from you about what types of discussions or resources would be most helpful and how such as space could help you in your work. \nTo help individuals with kids and/or other evening engagements attend our events\, we are testing out a 5pm start time. The discussion will get started around 5:30pm\, followed by time for open networking. \nLight snacks will be provided courtesy of CES-ON. \nTickets: https://www.meetup.com/Evaluation-Cafe-Toronto/events/252675605/.
