SOULAB'S SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT TRAINING PACKAGE
Our expertise and passion are in measuring social impact. We basically love it and live it. 

Over many years, we've worked with a range of partners across the social services sector to help them measure their social impact. Time and time again, we've heard from the NGO sector that there is a need for capability development in order to build this expertise in-house. 

To support this, we've developed this NGO Social Impact Assessment Training package based on our robust and tested impact assessment process, tailored to the needs of NGOs. The package consists of three training modules that can be completed from start to finish or as individual modules, depending on where your NGO is at. The three modules together cover all the necessary steps in the process of developing a social impact assessment framework and are welcoming to all knowledge levels. 

We are very excited about this offering and it has been a work in progress over a number of years. We are eager to share our knowledge with the NGO sector as we believe that together we can drive better outcomes for people living in disadvantage.  We welcome you to join us and other like-minded NGOs on a journey of even better social outcomes together!
