Project Overview 

UI has been hired by a large charitable organization to evaluate several programs they have funded. UI will be conducting evaluations on several nonprofits to understand how each program has helped beneficiaries and how the organization can better support this work.

• Site Visit: The student will visit the organization that is being evaluated in person.
• Interviews: The student will interview a few beneficiaries of the program using a list of questions provided by UI. Through these interviews, the students will learn more about how the project helped the beneficiaries.
• Write-Up: After the site visit and interviews, the student will create a short write-up describing what they learned.
