Although street outreach projects were born in cities, we notice the presence of this type of social intervention in remote regions in the province of Québec for some years now. To date very few evaluations of the effects of these projects have been carried out. Traditional evaluation is neither accepted by street workers and young people, nor is it adapted to the context and values. Indeed, the approach of these actions is based on providing a universal solution to meet needs. Usually this approach aims to empower young people and thereby render them independent. Using an example of an evaluation of the effects of a street outreach project in a rural region, we aim to illustrate that adopting an empowerment participatory evaluation approach should be one of the strategies of choice in a similar context. In this paper we present the details of the evaluation process and we analyse how this process has empowered street workers.
