<p>Collective impact is a nationally-recognized approach that brings together actors across sectors to solve complex social issues. When released in 2013, the Shared Prosperity Philadelphia plan launched a city-wide collective impact effort uniting public, private, non-profit and resident stakeholders to address poverty in Philadelphia.

<p>(1) Overview of the core principles of Collective Impact and the current thinking of what&#8217;s working and what&#8217;s not in the practice of Collective Impact</p>
<p>(2) Review examples of Collective Impact initiatives from other cities that have been successful in establishing best practices</p>
<p>(3) Exploring the sometimes overlapping roles of work group member, work group leader (or co-chair) and backbone organization</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Degrees with Less Debt: Effective Higher Education Strategies for Underrepresented Student Populations</p>
<p>This report describes an IERC study, led by Executive Director Janet Holt and commissioned by St. Louis Graduates, a collaborative network whose mission is to increase degree completion for low-income students, first-generation students, and students of color from St. Louis. The report addresses two key questions: 1) which institutions are doing the best in supporting low-income, first-generation students and students of color through college completion with low debt? and 2) what strategies are these institutions using to facilitate these results?</p>
<p>Starting with a list of 20 four-year institutions in Missouri and Illinois where St. Louis students most often attend college, a Success metric was developed to determine which institutions were best supporting underrepresented students. From this study, a group of five institutions rose to the top. In the second phase of this project, we interviewed administrators in the areas of academic and student affairs, enrollment management, and financial aid as well as a group of students, from each of these five institutions to find the key ingredients of their “secret sauce” in supporting underrepresented students to graduation with less debt.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PHENND partner DREAM is one of 3 finalists in the running for a $100K grant from NRG. The final decision is based entirely on an online, public voting process where people can vote as many times as they&#8217;d like from this Monday, May 8th through midnight on Friday, May 19th.</p>
<p>DREAM believes all children deserve the opportunity to thrive. For children living below the poverty line, an “opportunity gap” of resources, experiences and mentors holds them back. DREAM’s Village Mentoring model helps close this gap for the most vulnerable children in our communities by providing deeply committed college student mentors, local and regional adventures, summer enrichment and overnight camp, support for postsecondary success, and an unwavering commitment to dreaming big.</p>
<p>A parent of a DREAM participant provides an unsolicited window into DREAM’s impact: “Through DREAM, my kids were able to see their true place in the world and feel valued for who they were. DREAM has provided immeasurable opportunities for my children – opportunities that, as a low-income parent, I could never have provided.”</p>
<p>The $100,000 grant would be a game changer for DREAMs work and would make it possible to enroll more youth, as well as give life to a new DREAM offering, the “Creation Station,” a multi-purpose program center serving as a creative hub of self-expression and “do it yourself,” hands-on programming, providing children a safe, creative play space for artistic expression.</p>
<p>Please vote here (you can vote as many times as you want): <a href="http://tiny.cc/DREAM100" target="_blank">http://tiny.cc/DREAM100</a>. For more information on DREAM, visit <a href="http://www.dreamprogram.org" target="_blank">http://www.dreamprogram.org</a>.</p>
