Project Overview
Are you an expert in program evaluation and passionate about empowering women in the legal field? Ms. JD is seeking a skilled volunteer to design a comprehensive and user-friendly program evaluation tool. This tool will be essential in assessing the effectiveness of our initiatives aimed at pre-law students, law students, and early-career attorneys. By helping us evaluate our programs, you will play a critical role in ensuring that we continue to provide impactful support and resources to the next generation of women in law.
This pro bono work will ideally be a donation of 2-5 hours per week for one month by a volunteer. Tasks completed during this project may include:
-Audit of our nonprofit's existing data collection sources, including but not limited to: surveys, web or social media analytics, email stats, program intake forms, stakeholder feedback, focus groups, etc.
-Assess our current use of data collection tools (red: there is work to be done, yellow: proceed with caution, green: we're doing great!)
-Research alternative evaluation or data collection tools our nonprofit could use
-Present recommendations for how we can optimize our data efforts moving forward

Nonprofit Overview
Ms. JD seeks to support and improve the experiences of women law students and lawyers. Obstacles to equal participation hinder not only women in the law but also their colleagues, clients, children, and communities. Ms. JD consequently strives to give voice to why it matters that women continue to overcome barriers to achieve gender parity in the profession. In doing so, Ms. JD spreads the word: women’s victories are everyone’s victories.
