We have an idea for a new program our organization would like to start piloting. We would like to tap the assistance of someone with a background in program design to help create a step-by-step plan for building, executing and evaluating the impact of this pilot.

Our program design partner would help us define the program activities and create a logic model that outlines the cause-and-effect relationships between program inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes. We would also define the human and financial resources (budget) required to implement the program, along with any monitoring and evaluation mechanisms necessary to assess the effectiveness of the program.

Mending Minds Village has the opportunity to expand our mental health programs to create a specific program for our LGBTQ+ community in Utah. We would like your assistance in creating a pilot program designed to advocate for the LGBT specific community to receive mental health resources, educate the public and the LGBT community on the resources available and provide training specific to this community, provide support to LGBTQ+ youth in obtaining treatment and other resources, and to ensure the success of our marketing to the community at large!

We understand that designing a new program is an iterative process and will commit to continuous learning, flexibility, and to providing direct, honest feedback. We view this program design process as a priority and will make all staff available along with information about our current programs and their beneficiaries.

We have prepared a cache of resources detailing our current programs and have already identified the need the new program will address, along with the target beneficiaries the program will reach.
