Centre for Community Research, Learning and Action - CCRLA

Centre for Community Research, Learning and Action - CCRLA The Centre for Community Research Learning and Action (CCRLA) is an interdisciplinary research centre located within Laurier’s Faculty of Science.

Our work is focused on developing community partnerships and producing research, learning and action that advances community well-being and social justice. CCRLA facilitates community-based research (CBR) by brokering linkages between community partners and Laurier student and faculty researchers. Research projects are either community- or university-initiated and fall within four key streams: 1)

Community, Environment, and Justice; 2) Equity, Sexual Health and HIV; 3) Indigenous Health and Social Justice; and 4) Poverty Reduction. Each stream is organized in research groups which operate under the CCRLA umbrella.

Learn the fundamentals of Program Evaluation

This certificate provides an active learning experience designed for the working professional. Learn when to use different types of evaluation, about emerging issues on equity in evaluation and how to assess program outcomes while completing your own evaluation plan.



You will be asked to apply your learnings from each week to create an evaluation plan for a program within your organization or local community. In addition to coaching provided through group workshops, your one-on-one consulting session with an evaluation expert will give you detailed feedback on your plan and answer any questions you have. By the end of the program, you'll walk away with an evaluation plan that you can put into practice right away to conduct a successful program evaluation.
