Measuring Change
Volunteering WA developed an innovative tool to 'prototype' stage that aims to support volunteer involving organisations to effectively measure change that occurs as a result of their volunteer activities and programs.
The Measuring Change prototype tool has been developed with the aim of supporting organisations to apply outcomes measurement practice in their unique setting. The tool aims to cut through the ‘noise’ of impact measurement jargon and offer an easy-to-navigate, yet comprehensive approach for volunteer involving organisations and their volunteer program stakeholders.
Volunteering WA will select 10 organisations from across Western Australia to participate in the Measuring Change Project through an EOI process. Each organisation will nominate ideally one (two at the most) representative(s) to participate in Phase Two of the project, a peer-to-peer reflective learning to live test and co-design refinements to the tool and undertake a formal evaluation of the process. This will then lead to the development and delivery of the final product: a toolkit for measuring change that is specifically designed by the volunteer sector, for the volunteer sector.
