Community Engagement Evaluation and Monitoring Impact Toolkit
Transform Connection into Action with the ARRIVED™ Framework
Our Community Engagement Impact Toolkit provides organizations with practical resources to build meaningful relationships across diverse constituencies. Moving beyond superficial outreach, this comprehensive toolkit equips you with research-backed strategies to create authentic engagement that drives measurable outcomes.
The toolkit includes:
Context mapping tools to understand community perspectives
Structured dialogue guides for navigating difficult conversations
Implementation planning templates for sustainable initiatives
Evaluation frameworks that measure both relationship quality and tangible results
Core Objectives of This Toolkit
Measure the effectiveness of engagement between community advisory boards and public institutions (this template is geared toward Medicaid agencies)
Track improvements in Medicaid programs resulting from advisory board input.
Evaluate the level of empowerment and psychological safety for community members.
Assess the integration of lived experience into policy development.
Monitor compliance with legal and ethical requirements for community engagement and guide continuous improvement in collaborative processes.
Whether you're a healthcare organization seeking to improve patient outcomes, a government agency building public trust, or a nonprofit amplifying community voices, this toolkit helps you create engagement that matters.
Based on the principles in "Evolve Your We: From Courage to Connection in a Divided World," these resources transform how organizations approach community relationships—moving from transactional interactions to transformational partnerships.
