Hope for Kids Partners Refresh the Theory of Change

At the start of the fourth year of the Hope for Kids Initiative, launched in 2009, the current 10 Hope for Kids Partners worked with the Foundation and the outside evaluator, PREL, to review and revise the Theory of Change that undergirds the Initiative. The new Theory of Change includes a logic model, which depicts A Voyage of Hope and outlines the early, intermediate and long-term outcomes for program participants; a core elements compass, which outlines the context for each of the Partner's programs and the five core elements that each Partner shares; and a narrative document which summarizes the research and rationale that serve as the theoretical basis for the Initiative and intended outcomes. Review the new Theory of Change.
