Purpose puts it all together

The purpose of a program is to achieve outcomes.

  • It is driven by audience needs and considerations (for whom)
  • It provides a solution to meet those needs (what we do)
  • It fulfills the organization’s mission
  • It defines audience, activities, services, and outcomes
