Youth - Led Prevention Evaluation Advisory Committee
Established as an evaluation development initiative centering the lived experience of OAA and others who have extensive professional experiencing working with youth, the committee will use a community-centered, participatory empowerment approach to guide the development of an evaluation tool for OAA to use within the field to evaluate the impact of Ohio’s Youth-Led Prevention programs. The advisory committee is a critical element in addressing equitable representation of the field of adults working professionally with Youth-Led initiatives, providing an opportunity to develop prevention knowledge and leadership skills through an empowerment approach.
Join Us! We are actively recruiting new evaluation committee members. OAA invites adults with extensive expertise and/or professional experience working with youth to consider applying. Special consideration will be given to those with experience in the youth-led prevention field and/or experience with evaluating programs or creating evaluation tools.
