Cornell Cooperative Extension benefits large numbers of New York state communities, but the results of this work are not always measured widely or well. This two-day preparation for participants in a diversity of roles presents an overview of Ripple Effect Mapping — a method of capturing the impacts of extension educational efforts within complex, real-life settings — and shows participants how the process is implemented. Engaged faculty, professional staff, field-based extension professionals and members of community-based organizations have the opportunity to increase their understanding of Ripple Effect Mapping and become confident utilizing it to capture the outcomes of their own programs, as well as prepare others to use it. This knowledge will greatly further the work of engaged learning, from classrooms to extension offices to community-based settings.
