Reflections from the CLC Steering Committee
What has been the biggest accomplishment within the ACYI Partnership over the last year since the Cradle to Career Leadership Summit?
|
An Authentically Reinvigorated Leadership Table
Communities cannot thrive with individual entities working in silos, and the power in numbers becomes even stronger when cross-sector entities are working collectively to make major, authentic change
.
But it's not enough to come together. A collective impact model does not, will not sustain without collective leadership driving the effort. This type of social movement requires key leaders to own the outcomes and fully support collective impact.
Last summer, a group of leaders from across the community gathered together to convene a Cradle to Career Leadership summit to strategize: how do we re-energize and give leaders an opportunity to recommit to this work?
This is a simple principle: Those who care about a community's youth - from parents to educators to civic leaders and local employers - can accomplish more by working together than by working apart, and by collectively driving these efforts as leaders.
In the year since the summit, leaders across the community have stepped up to reinvigorate the
Community Leaders Council (CLC).

PARTNERSHIP PRIORITIES |
|
Priorities Established by the CLC Steering Committee
2020 and Beyond
In June, the Community Leaders Council (CLC) Steering Committee met to set the Priorities for the ACYI Partnership for the years 2020 and beyond.
What differs from the work many have to do in developing strategic priorities, is that we don't have to determine them from scratch.
In fact, a roadmap already exists for this work.
ACYI's national affiliate,
StriveTogether, has a roadmap for the ACYI Partnership, that they call their
Theory of Action. The Theory of Action essentially provides a guide for what's needed for communities to successfully improve cradle to career outcomes on behalf of youth.

Policy and Legislative Advisory Network (PLAN)
Supporting Policy and Advocacy Across the ACYI Partnership
|
|
|
Pictured here: The ACYI Community Leaders Council works to drive the work of the ACYI Partnership to improve Cradle to Career Outcomes for youth.

The Partnership is clear that it cannot change systems without aligning policy to improve Cradle to Career Outcomes, and has onboarded a champion to support this work: Matt LaCrue, Associate Managing Director at Dentons.
Matt will support the Partnership to engage in three key areas related to policy and advocacy:
Education, Advocacy and
Awareness.
To support this work around policy and advocacy, the ACYI Partnership is launching a Policy and Legislative Advisory Network (PLAN).
