Program Planning for Impact: Using Logic Models to Focus, Strengthen, and Communicate Your Work

A logic model is one of the most useful—and often most misunderstood—tools in program planning. In this highly interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to create a clear, practical logic model that helps you connect community needs, program activities, and desired outcomes to maximize impact.

Using real-world examples and step-by-step guidance, we’ll break down the process into manageable pieces and show how a logic model can strengthen planning, improve communication, and support evaluation efforts. Participants will have dedicated time to develop their own logic model, and receive feedback from the facilitator and peers.

You’ll leave with:
– A completed (or nearly completed) logic model for your program
– Greater confidence in articulating how your work creates change
– A versatile tool you can use in grant applications, staff onboarding, marketing materials, and stakeholder communications
– Next steps to continue your work

Whether you’re designing a new program or refining an existing one, this session will help you clarify your strategy, communicate your impact, and position your work for success.
