Neighborhood Change You Can See and Measure using RBA

Saturday, March 20, 2010, from 9:00 a.m. – 12: 00 noon (Light breakfast provided)

Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center / 1802 N. Illinois Street

How does your community get “residents with good jobs” become “a safe and clean neighborhood,” or “a place where neighbors know each other?” This course provides resident leaders with a tool on how to effectively achieve the results that they want to see in their neighborhood. Results-based Accountability (RBA) is the approach that course participants will learn.

RBA is a way of thinking and taking action quickly that communities can use to improve the lives of children, families and the community as a whole. It uses plain language and common sense methods that everyone can understand. This 3-hour course is interactive and fun.

Course Objectives

· To be familiar with terms and language used in RBA

· To learn effective questions that will get results and lead to action.

· To practice the model used in RBA.

· To provide participants with one well developed community outcome that can be measured.
