NOBIS PROJECT THINK TANK

A Think Tank is an organization or group that conducts research and engages in advocacy in areas such as social policy, political strategy, or business policies, to name a few. The Nobis Project Think Tank was established to research and advocate for civic engagement in our local, national and global community.

We believe that
  • Informed social action leads to improved lives and communities
  • Empowerment of individuals and communities occurs when they are challenged to meet the needs of society in innovative and meaningful ways
  • Experiencing a sense of empowerment leads to lasting positive change in both the individual and society
  • Every community depends on an interconnected network of communities around the globe
The Nobis Project Think Tank develops, implements, evaluates, and researches civic engagement program models and practices both of our design or conceived by collaborating partners. The Think Tank offers three types of services:
 
Think Tank Symposiums
Nobis Project organizes and implements periodic symposiums. These meetings focus on a selected topic and bring together a various experts, stakeholders, and interested parties to share information and identify future research projects, often pertaining to new program development.
 
Think Tank Research
Following a symposium, identified research projects are developed by a Nobis Project team, including both staff and volunteers. Selected Nobis Project Research Projects each support the mission and vision of the Nobis Project; to build leaders and life-long learners by empowering individuals and communities, locally and abroad, to meet the needs of society in innovative and meaningful ways.
 
Think Tank Program Evaluation
Nobis Project staff, in collaboration with program designers, provides guidance toward planning and implementing an evaluation process for for-profit or nonprofit programs that focus on civic engagement. Through a comprehensive assessment we select the best fitting evaluation method. These methods include goals-based, process-based, or outcomes-based evaluation.
