Domingo Moronta, Public Health Alum, and RWJ Fellow, joins OMG Center for Collaborative Learning

Domingo José Moronta has developed and implemented programs drawing on the creative strength of adolescents to address education, nutrition, and physical activity barriers. Program development coupled with the innovative perspectives of teenagers drew Domingo to program evaluation as a means of better understanding the changes occurring in their lives and the impact of specific projects. He has come to regard program evaluation and asking the right questions as more powerful instruments for socioeconomic and policy change. Originating from Harlem in New York, he has noted the preclusion of members from low-income communities of color attaining active roles in work being conducted in their very own neighborhoods. Domingo seeks to employ comprehensive evaluation by bringing both researchers and community members as equals to the table. He joins the OMG Center for Collaborative Learning team based in Philadelphia to reinforce his work in culturally informed program evaluation with the tools, skills and expertise necessary to make profound and lasting positive changes in communities like his own.
