Why is ongoing program self-evaluation important?

Regular evaluation helps ensure your SWAP program is running effectively and continues to meet its intended goals. It offers a chance to reflect, improve, and grow.

Through ongoing evaluation, you can:

• Confirm that program goals and objectives are being achieved

• Identify strengths, challenges, and underlying causes

• Pinpoint areas for improvement and innovation

• Document and describe effective practices worth continuing

• Explore new strategies and ideas for enhanced impact

• Communicate progress and demonstrate the value of the program

SWAP collaborates with a wide range of stakeholders—including young adults, families, educators, DVR, employers, and human service agencies. Gathering their feedback plays a vital role in refining and strengthening our programs.
