PROGRAM LOGIC MODEL

A logic model shows the connections between resources available for a program, activities carried out with program participants, units of service delivered, and intended results; i.e., changes for participants and perhaps the organization; as well as the long-term goal to which the program contributes. Developing a logic model assists an organization as it plans a new program, as well as providing the framework on which the program evaluation can be built.
