REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL - evaluation consultant

The goal of After the Bell, a project funded by Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), is to increase the capacity within the Durham Region for establishing and sustaining affordable, high quality after school programs in priority communities for children from 5 to 12 years of age. 

The project partners are the Boys and Girls Club of Durham, the Durham District School Board, and the Town of Ajax.  

The purpose of this request is to select a consultant to assist the After the Bell Project Steering Committee in developing a program assessment tool that measures the long‐term benefits of after school programs on the health and development of children (5 to 12 years old) by planning and implementing a comprehensive evaluation plan.  The benefits should focus on the following five impact indicators:

• Social, emotional, and physical well being
  
• Engagement in learning and achievement
  
• Incidence of school‐based discipline or involvement in negative social behaviour
  
• School and community connection
  
• Volunteerism.
  

The deadline for receipt of proposals is: August 10, 2012.  Proposals are to be submitted via e-mail in Microsoft Word or PDF format to lmcneebaker@eastviewbgc.com
