DOCUMENT SUMMARY: Proposed Project

Title: Communities Empowering Youth Evaluation Study.

OMB No. New Collection.

Description: The information collection activity proposed under this notice will obtain information about lead and partner organizations funded under the Communities Empowering Youth (CEY) program. The information collected will complement a survey (OMB No. 09700335) that is examining the organizational and partnership capacity building experienced by organizations funded under the CEY program. The proposed information collection will allow indepth examination of a select number of lead organizations and their partners. Information collection will be through onsite observations of organizations and partnerships and structured discussions with key staff, using uniform protocols. Pilot testing will be conducted at two sites to ensure that the protocols and observations are valid and reliable. Onsite information collection will occur three times: near the beginning, at the midpoint, and at the end of the threeyear CEY grant period. Periodic telephone followups, occurring approximately every six months, will be conducted between onsite data collection in order to clarify or update information collected earlier and to prepare for future site visits.

Respondents: Executive directors and key staff of faith based and community organizations that received threeyear CEY grants beginning in 2007.
