Initial Submission:

For the evaluation, I will be working with TAP (Total Action for Progress). TAP works with lower income families in the Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas. They provide a variety of services that range from daycare to job placement. The evaluation will be aimed toward staff and participants. I will be conducting both interviews and surveys for the evaluation. The survey will be used to get a better understanding of the overall satisfaction of TAP.
