Extractions: Rational Background In order to show how community capacity building efforts result in concrete community changes, evaluation must not only assess changes in group processes and structures, but also changes in community indicators. This requires evaluation at multiple levels of community systems and at multiple stages of the programming process. Even developments in groups processes, such as changes in the way a group works together, or structures its leadership, can have outcomes at the individual level. (i.e., A newly mobilized community member becomes a key leader in getting community policing available in the neighborhood, resulting in tremendous increases in individual feelings of empowerment and self-efficacy). Therefore even changes labeled as "process changes" can have impacts at multiple levels of the system, and are therefore very important to evaluate. If community development efforts are successful, they will lead to the ultimate goal of making our communities the best possible places to live. Concrete community impacts such as reduction in crime, improvements in schools, decreases in unemployment, and improved environments are often targeted at an ultimate goal of community development efforts. The problem arises though, when these complexly determined community impacts are the heart of the program assessment criteria. We recommend that multiple levels of community processes and structures be evaluated in order to create a logical progression toward achievement and assessment of community impacts. Evaluation of both Process and Structural Factors, such as group functioning and changes in community resources and policies, will then create a logic model for the evaluation of community impacts.

Extractions: 1. What's your favorite piece of clothing that you currently own? The consistent favorite - the "comfort shirt" - is an old, comfy, grey cotton t-shirt that I've had for over five years. It's what I wear when not feeling well. The current favorite is a pair of green, cotton wide leg pants I bought not too long ago. I'd wear them all the time, if I could. 3. What piece of clothing can you not bring yourself to get rid of? Why? Several old t-shirts that are too worn out to wear but hold sentimental value: an Hungry for Stink tee, and an off-pink Girls Against Boys tee. I don't even listen to the latter band; I just liked the shirt. I used to wear those shirts a lot in high school. They've been in various dresser drawers for years, and, at this point, smell a little funny.
Extractions: In October of 1996 the state human service directors announced the availability of Innovation Recognition Awards of $1,000 to celebrate the past successes of MPCBs in systems reform activities and Innovation Support Grants to support innovation activities consistent with the principles of systems reform. A combined total of fifty-seven award and grant submissions were received, totaling nearly $400,000 in requested funds. From these submissions, twenty-one awards and thirteen grants were selected, exemplifying the criteria of innovation and demonstration of principles of systems reform. Many of the proposals not selected due to funding constraints also were of fine quality and indicated that communities around the state are engaged in serious attempts to reform their systems. A listing of 1997 award and grant recipients, with a brief description of the award or grant submission is attached. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS CONCERNING THIS MATERIAL OR NEED GENERAL INFORMATION on Putting It Together With Michigan Families use: PIT Helpline (517) 335-7904, or directly call the contact person listed on the attachment for each innovation grant or award.

Traditionally, violence prevention interventions have targeted young people most "at risk" for delinquent or violent behavior. This approach, called a deficit model, works to change the specific behaviors or characteristics that place youth at risk, such as failing at school, abusing drugs, or engaging in criminal behaviors. Youth development, on the other hand, is a violence prevention model that shifts the focus from problems and emphasizes identifying, recognizing, and then building upon youth strengths. It includes programs, policies, and funding that support young people in becoming healthy, contributing adults.
