Evaluation Highlights
The Center for Youth and Communities (CYC) at Brandeis University has conducted the Earth Force evaluation since 1997. We have two overall purposes for the evaluation: to improve our operations and to determine the impact of the program on educators and students.
Student and educator surveys over the past three years consistently show that taking part in Earth Force enhances students’ civic skills, attitudes, and knowledge. They learn to identify local environmental issues, collaborate, conduct research, and express their views. They also develop increased confidence, efficacy, belief in the value of long-term solutions to environmental problems, and understanding of diverse viewpoints.
