Success

Collective Impact worked with First 5 Ventura County (F5VC) to implement a “Research to Action” project funded by the Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) involving several EC-LINC communities. The mission of EC-LINC is to support families and improve results for young children in communities across the country with a focus on accelerating the development of effective, integrated, local early childhood systems. Along with several EC-LINC communities in California and Massachusetts, F5VC set out to establish the effectiveness of playgroups in the continuum of care for serving young children (birth to three) and their families, maximize the benefits of playgroups, and demonstrate the impact of playgroups on long-term outcomes. This project included an extensive literature review, interviews and a survey of current practices with participating communities, development of recommended best practice and evaluation frameworks, onsite convening of participating communities, and the development of a final report with key findings and recommendations.

“Our organization completed a strategic plan about 10 years ago, so it was completely outdated. The board was very reluctant to start a new plan, but with the help of Bruce Decker and Collective Impact, we’ve developed a great plan to help us move forward as an organization. Bruce was patient, creative, informative, and energetic. He was really able to get us thinking outside of the box and get discussions started that helped set goals and develop a plan for our organization to take the next step. Thank you again Bruce!” ~ Jessica Stump – Executive Director, Snowshoe Foundation
