The statewide evaluation is a required program activity that measures how the UC Master Gardener Program impacts the communities we serve in every county across California. This is possible by collecting behavior change data, demographic data, and land-use data from educational workshops and events.
The statewide evaluation toolkit is designed to hold all the resources necessary to perform the statewide evaluation efforts. It is divided into three sections: Internal Training, Socializing the Survey, and Collecting the Data.
The Portal is an online tool acts as a dashboard to access University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) websites, utilities and systems in which you are involved.

Conflict is a normal, to-be-expected part of the volunteer engagement process. While conflict itself is not extraordinary, the management or mismanagement of conflict can have extraordinary impacts on staff/volunteer satisfaction, community well-being, and program success.
Training is a cornerstone of the UC Master Gardener Program, ensuring that volunteers and coordinators have the knowledge and skills to deliver research-based gardening education to their communities.
