Connecting for social impact

CONNECT helps graduate students and community organizations across the globe work together to increase impact through better data and program evaluation practices.

"Our CONNECT Fellow provided a wealth of useful information
that will positively impact the Dana Center for many years to come."

Our Approach

The CONNECT program seeks to activate learning from data and build both capacity and interest in greater data, measurement and evaluation capacity within community organizations. It achieves this through scoping projects, recruiting graduate students, determining matches, providing support, and awarding fellowships.
