HERE’S HOW THE CREATORS DESCRIBE THIS INFOGRAPHIC:

Evaluations of youth programs are better when they are grounded in a clear program theory. A youth program can more effectively learn from their evaluation when they have clear goals, objectives, and expected outcomes.

A logic model clarifies all the components and intended outcomes of the program so the evaluation of your program can focus on the most central and important questions. Creating an accurate logic model is important, as it ensures that stakeholders participating in the design of the evaluation have a complete understanding of the program.
