Advancing Cities Evaluation

Dates: Nov 2020 - Mar 2022

Project: JP Morgan Chase awarded a 3-year, $5M Advancing Cities grant to NOLABA, the City of New Orleans, and YouthForce NOLA. The partnership is designed to create a seamless pipeline to identify and train under- and unemployed individuals in high-growth sector jobs, expand the capacity of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs), connect these businesses to potential employees, and build local blue/green infrastructure expertise in New Orleans.

As the external evaluator for this grant, Flux facilitated a participatory process to develop a program theory, evaluation questions, and evaluation plan.
