Vision & Mission Statements

Vision Statement

“The dream—how your community will be when all the outcomes are met.”

Your long term fantasy for a perfect community

Vision Statement

Example: The vision for Utopia Alliance is a healthy, vibrant community, free of misuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

Mission Statement• What the Alliance’s

role is in making the vision a reality.

Example: The Mission of the Utopia Alliance is to transform the Township of Utopia into a community that nurtures youth and families by engaging residents in the process of ongoing community problem solving to reduce substance abuse.

Difference between Vision & Mission

While the Vision is a dream, the Mission is more concrete and action oriented.

Developing the Plan of Action

• In order to develop the plan you must understand– Community Level Change– CADCA’s Seven Strategies for Change

Community Level Change (Environmental Strategies)

Prevention efforts aimed at changing or influencing community conditions rather then individuals or groups of individuals

Only a part of what Alliances will be doing

CADCA’s Seven Strategies for Community Level Change

To effect change an alliance must develop a diverse range of strategies and interventions.

CADCA’s Seven Strategies for Community Level Change

INDIVIDUALLY FOCUSED• Provide information • Build skills • Provide social support

Community Focused• Reduce barriers / enhance access • Change consequences / incentives • Alter the physical design of the environment • Change policy and rules

Strategy 1: Providing Information

Educational presentations, workshops, seminars or other presentations.Examples:– Media – Brochures– Billboards– Meetings– Forum– Web-based communications

Strategy 2:Enhancing Skills

Activities designed to increase the skills of participants to achieve population-level outcomes.

Examples:– Workshops and seminars – Training and technical assistance

Strategy 3: Providing Support

Creating opportunities for individuals to participate in activities that reduce risk or enhance protection

• Examples:– Providing alternative activities – Mentoring – Referrals – Support groups

Strategy 4: Enhancing Access/Reducing

Barriers

Improving systems and processes to increase the ease, ability and opportunity to utilize services.

Examples:

– Cultural and language sensitivity

– Childcare

– Transportation

Strategy 5: Changing Consequences

Increasing or decreasing the probability of a specific behavior by altering the consequences of that behavior

• Increasing public awareness • Individual and business rewards • Taxes, citations, and fines • Revocation/loss of privileges

Strategy 6:Physical Design

• Changing the physical design or structure of the environment to reduce risk or enhance protection – Parks – Landscape – Signage – Lighting – Outlet density

STRATEGY 7: Modifying/Changing Policies

Form 7Plan for Evaluation

• Five elements to evaluation:

• Process

• Short-term outcomes

• Intermediate Outcomes

• Long-term outcomes

• Long-term impact evaluation

Form 7Plan for Evaluation

• Form 7– Plan for Evaluation

– Process Indicators• Tools to Measure Process

– Outcome Indicators• Short Terms Goals• Tools to Measure Short Term Goals

Process Evaluation

Examines the delivery of the intervention to determine if:

• the target audience was reached

• the Alliance stakeholders were engaged

• the activity was delivered as intended

Form 7Plan for Evaluation

• Measure Process by:• Number of session• Number of unduplicated

people attending each

session

Form 7Plan for Evaluation

• Measure Process:30 unduplicated people

over 6 sessions

Total of 180 people trained

Form 7Plan for Implementation

• Short Term GoalsWhat would be

learned/benefitted

• Tools and instruments for short term goals

Form 7Plan for Implementation

• Tools and instruments for short term goals– Pre & post tests– Surveys– Interviews

Intermediate Outcomes

• Intermediate evaluation determines if the intervention is making a difference in the problems detailed in the Alliance’s local conditions identified on the logic model.

• Not before year two

Long Term Outcomes

• Long-term evaluation determines if the changes in the local conditions are affecting the root cause and ultimately reducing the problem as identified in the problem statement

• Not before year five

Long Term Impact

• Long-term impact identifies the long-term impact over a 5-10 year period and considers the long-term health and social consequences to the community.

• Long-term impact is determined when the Alliance conducts another needs assessment process in preparation for the next grant cycle
