Proposed Projects
Title: Communities Empowering Youth (CEY) Program Evaluation.
OMB No.: 0970-0335.
Description: This proposed information collection activity is to
obtain information from Communities Empowering Youth (CEY) grantee
agencies and the faith-based and community organizations working in
partnership with them. The CEY evaluation is an important opportunity
to examine the outcomes achieved through this component of the
Compassion Capital Fund in meeting its objective of improving the
capacity of faith-based and community organizations and the
partnerships they form to increase positive youth development and
address youth violence, gang involvement, and child abuse/neglect. The
evaluation will be designed to assess changes and improvements in the
structure and functioning of the partnership and the organizational
capacity of each participating organization. The purpose of this
request will be to revise the approved baseline instruments for follow-
up data collection.
Respondents: CEY grantees and the faith-based and community
organizations that are a part of the partnership approved under the CEY
grant.
