About Us

The Planning and Evaluation Resource Center (PERC) is a project of the Innovation Center for Community and Youth Development and the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development at Tufts University. Through this project, we hope to advance the field of youth development y strengthening the program planning and evaluation cycle of youth-serving agencies through tools, training and expert advice to improve programs and strengthen communications between community organizations, boards and stakeholders

The PERC website was developed in partnership by the Innovation Center, the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development and Social Policy Research Associates. Please click on the links to the left to learn more about the partner organizations.

This website is part of an evolving process to continually surface and share great resources and ideas to strengthen program planning and evaluation. If you'd like to share information about a tool, organizational resource, or training that we haven't included, if you'd like to share your experiences with others through the Practitioner's Database or if you have ideas or suggestions to strengthen the site, we welcome your feedback.
