DCYF Technical Assistance and Capacity Building (TA/CB) Cumulative Workshop Report 2020 — 2021

DCYF is committed to improving program quality to drive positive outcomes for the City’s youth, families and the staff who serve them. DCYF understands that investment in the professional development of youth service providers strengthens the broader ecosystem of programs and resources intended to benefit youth. Toward this end, DCYF encourages front-line staff, program managers and non-profit executives to utilize their suite of Technical Assistance/Capacity Building (TA/CB) offerings by participating in workshops, conferences, and extended learning cohorts.

Starting in 2019, DCYF partnered with the Claremont Evaluation Center (CEC) at Claremont Graduate University (CGU) to engage in a comprehensive multi-year evaluation to explore participation patterns in TA/CB workshops and the contribution of DCFY’s TA/CB on continuous learning for agency staff, and eventually quality improvement in the agencies where they are employed.
