Our Blueprint for Lasting Change
Behind every strong organization is a clear plan.
At SENT, that plan is rooted in something called a Theory of Change — a thoughtful framework that explains how and why the work we do leads to real, measurable transformation in neighborhoods.
Over the past several years, SENT has grown from a place-based neighborhood initiative into a recognized driver of holistic community health in Shawnee County. As we entered our next chapter of growth, we took time to clarify and document the assumptions, strategies, and outcomes that guide our work. The result is our 2025–2029 Theory of Change and Strategic Plan.
This document outlines:
- The community conditions we are working to change
• The strategic impact goals we will pursue over the next five years
• The measurable outcomes we are committed to achieving
• The investments required to make the transformation sustainable
• The long-term societal vision that anchors everything we do
If you are a community member, partner, funder, volunteer, or simply someone who cares about the future of Shawnee County, this plan provides a clear roadmap for how SENT intends to move from intervention to transformation.
