EVALUATION
Our evaluation services focus primarily on the needs of underserved communities, tribal leaders, tribal health departments, tribal recovery programs, universities, and non-profit organizations in the US. Our senior associates have worked on a variety of tribal, local, state, regional, and national projects employing rigorous community-driven evaluation methods.
Our work upholds the unique values and protocols of the communities and tribes we work with. We strive to work closely with communities to develop the most appropriate and meaningful evaluation approach.
