Evaluation & Design

From 2023–2025, LPC supported the evaluation of California Health Collaborative’s Compromiso Adelante Project in Stanislaus County. LPC measured the effectiveness of community-led efforts in Riverbank and Ceres to adopt, implement, and enforce Tobacco Retail Licensing, an evidence-based policy designed to reduce tobacco access, particularly among youth, in predominantly Latino communities.

From 2022–2024, LPC participated in the Sacramento County Vehicle Emissions Project in partnership with Breathe California Sacramento Region. The project addressed air pollution as an environmental justice issue, focusing on communities disproportionately affected by poor air quality and elevated risks to respiratory and cardiopulmonary health.

LPC evaluated GrizzlyCorps, an AmeriCorps program designed by Project Climate at UC Berkeley’s Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment in partnership with CaliforniaVolunteers. The evaluation examined how the program strengthens organizational capacity in rural communities while advancing regenerative agri-food systems, fire and forest resilience, and the development of emerging climate leaders.
