A logic model is a planning tool that diagrams how you intend to achieve your program's results. The logic model provides a concise visual representation of activities that are the core of your program. Logic modeling can be used during the planning or development of your program to identify the results your program intends to achieve. A logic model is not a required component of your AmeriCorps application. Rather, it is a recommended tool that can assist you in planning your program and completing your performance measurement worksheets.
