Evidence2Success

Involving communities in assessing and improving the well-being of children and young people.

Decades of research show that engag­ing whole com­mu­ni­ties in under­stand­ing and address­ing the under­ly­ing caus­es of social prob­lems can improve the well-being of both kids and adults. Yet, fed­er­al, state and local gov­ern­ment agen­cies have been slow to involve com­mu­ni­ties and slow to adopt evi­dence-based pro­grams that sup­port kids’ well-being.

Evidence2Success™ pro­vides cities and states with a road map for involv­ing com­mu­ni­ties in mak­ing smart invest­ments in evi­dence-based programs.
