Welcome to “Stats and Stories”, a new podcast series from Family Service Toronto, one of the city’s oldest and most vital social service organizations.
In this series, we will examine evaluation trends in the Canadian non-profit sector. Each podcast episode will feature a Family Service Toronto student who will speak to Canadian evaluators about the design and execution of their work. We’ll share their insights, guidance, and resources to enhance your practice and build a stronger non-profit sector.
In this episode, we feature two Family Service Toronto evaluation professionals, who have created a project to revitalize the logic model - both the way that we develop it and the way that we use it. Their project is called “The Story of our Work.”
Maria Huijbregts is the Director of Knowledge Building at Family Service Toronto and Erika Gates-Gasse works with Maria as Research and Evaluation Co-ordinator. In our conversation, we explore the motivation behind their “Story of our Work” project, their key learnings and the impact they believe it could have on the field.
