The Cultivating Evaluation Education and Development (CEED) program engages early career evaluators in an experiential learning experience by supporting them as they lead a pro bono evaluation for a local nonprofit community organization. We explored the value of this professional development to the early career evaluators, to the sponsor organization, and to the nonprofit organizations receiving CEED services by examining findings from six CEED projects. We found that early career evaluators self-reported gains in confidence and competence especially in four American Evaluation Association Evaluator Competencies (2018) domains - professional practice, methodology, planning and management, and interpersonal skills. The initiative allowed the sponsor organization to expand connections with community organizations, implement work consistent with the mission, and provide new mentoring opportunities. Representatives from the recipient nonprofit organizations reported they gained a deeper understanding of evaluation, improved their dissemination efforts, and built organizational evaluation capacity.
培养评价教育与发展（CEED）计划通过支持早期职业评估人员为当地非营利社区组织提供免费评估，使他们能够获得体验式学习经验。我们通过研究六个 CEED 项目的结果，探讨了这种专业发展对早期职业评估人员、赞助组织以及接受 CEED 服务的非营利组织的价值。我们发现，早期职业评估人员自我报告在信心和能力方面有所提高，特别是在四个美国评估协会评估人员能力（2018）领域——专业实践、方法、规划和管理以及人际关系技能。该计划使赞助组织能够扩大与社区组织的联系，实施符合使命的工作，并提供新的指导机会。来自受援非营利组织的代表报告称，他们对评估有了更深入的了解，改进了他们的传播工作，并建立了组织评估能力。
