Emerging
IMPACT
Pre-Work Overview
• September 2013 United Way (support of BOA and GE) brought
Jeff Edmondson from StriveTogether to Bridgeport to discuss the
possibility of building a cradle to career civic infrastructure in
Bridgeport.
• While attendees said “Yes” when asked if this work was worth
pursuing, there was a clear expression of caution given the
erosion of trust, high level of fatigue and conflicting agendas.
• As a result, United Way (UW) committed to significant additional
pre-work to:
 Gain additional input/insights
 Demonstrate inclusiveness/promote broad engagement
 Build understanding of Collective Impact
 Help raise the dialog
 Identify the right leadership
 Determine next steps
Pre-Work Continued…
Engagement/Input-
• Over 150+ interviews
conducted
• Input Summarized

Communications• Issued White Paper
• Developed one page basic
Information Sheet
• Established webpage/very

• Partnership with Sacred
Heart School of
Management/Effective
Communication Strategies
Project
• Ongoing expansion of
communication list
Core Leadership Team Attributes
• Servant leaders/no agenda
• Neutral (not immediately polarizing)/community
credibility
• Diverse/culturally competent/community competent
• Influencers/not all the same old/can keep the order
• Cross walkers/can help bridge divides
• Can model respect, forgiveness, active listening,
transparency, can consider different opinions, values
talents and assets of the community
• Willingness/courage to lead in difficult times
Consensus Observations
• Community is deeply divided/feelings are much more personal and difficult to
recover from
• Trust is hard to come by/ certain groups or individuals are significantly more
polarizing and need to be part of the larger engagement but not seen as leading
the effort
• Community wants to move forward to make positive impact but is rudderless at
the moment
• Concerns exist about how CI will impact funding /resource allocation- “Will this
take money away from the community?”
• The community is changing and the traditional distribution of power and
influence is not the future
• Leadership needs to be developed/long time lock on leadership positions has
stifled new leadership potential/diminished energy, enthusiasm, innovation
• Strategies/actions need to be sustainable and have community ownership/buy
in
• Funders must not set the agenda but should support the agenda
Recommendations
• Cannot be owned or driven by United Way/Board. Core Leadership Team and
community must lead (UW is the support organization). The community will
listen and watch this carefully.
• United Way should engage other organizations to provide backbone functions in
areas they are expert in. This will not only avoid duplication and leverage
community assets, it can help model servant leadership/collaboration/setting
differences aside, etc…
• Prior to diving into outcomes/measures/evidence/investment, the Core
Leadership Team must get out into the community to listen and learn with
authenticity and help/model/pursue truth telling and forgiveness work to help
with healing and trust building.
• Core Values and Guiding Principles for the initiative should be developed very
early on.
• Communications must be transparent, culturally relevant, frequent and
authentic.
• Extensive, ongoing, daily, work must be undertaken to promote broad
community level engagement and further develop an understanding of the
initiative.
What the Community had to say…
“We can not surrender.”
“We have many assets in Bridgeport that we need to tap.”
“The voice of divisiveness can not continue louder than the voice of
unity.”
“We need to replace the anger and hatred with love and
understanding. We owe this to our children.”
“We can make progress if we are inclusive and if we don’t leave
residents on the outside looking in.”
“Our children need to see our leaders working together to solve
problems regardless of our differences.”
“We need to focus positively. People are tired of the ugly, negative
dynamics.”
“We need to respect one another even if we have differences.”

What the Community Had to Say
About Outcomes
• Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Local jobs. Jobs for youth. Pathways to jobs. Let’s take a really hard look at
this!
• Kindergarten readiness, third grade reading, meeting grade level expectations and
increasing the High School graduation rate are really important.
• The big six are good but not broad enough.
• Need an outcome focus prior to Kindergarten readiness.
• Need to focus past secondary credentials and really measure progress in workforce
entrance/career success.
• The outcomes need to span the entire cradle to career continuum.
• Is there a way to focus an outcome around Family Skill building ( this could include
strengthening parenting skills, basic skills, job skills, financial literacy skills and knowledge
and connection to resources)
• Indicators/measures and work at the Community Action tables needs to focus beyond
academic achievement. The focus should be broad and include health, social emotional
and other indicators in addition to the focus on academic measures.
• Is there a way to impact and measure youth engagement in positive activities?

Bridgeport Accepts President Obama’s
My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge
Community leaders gathered alongside Mayor Bill Finch and Congressman Himes to announce
that the state’s largest city had accepted the President’s Challenge (October 31st, 2014).
ABOUT THE MY BROTHER'S KEEPER
COMMUNITY CHALLENGE


The My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge (MBK) is a national
call to action for communities (cities, counties, and Tribal Nations) to
develop and execute a cradle-to-college and career strategy to
improve life outcomes for all youth, consistent with the goals and
recommendations of the My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Task Force’s
May 28, 2014 report, to ensure that all young people can achieve
their full potential regardless of who they are, where they come
from, or the circumstances into which they are born.
By accepting the My Brother's Keeper Community Challenge,
communities commit to convene key stakeholders to get involved
locally, to implement proven strategies for improving the life
outcomes of young people, to measure their successes and setbacks,
and to share their plans to help communities learn from one another.
About MBK Continued
“All the communities doing My Brother’s Keeper and
other federal initiatives like it are going to need to
do rigorous “collective impact” if they’re going to
do it right.” –Jim Shelton, Deputy Secretary, U.S.
Department of Education.

Continuous Improvement
Continuous improvement is an ongoing effort to improve services and supports
for children and families over time in order to improve a community level
outcome. These efforts can seek "incremental" improvement over time or
"breakthrough" improvement all at once.
Six Sigma / DMAIC
• Define: partners, problem, scope
etc. (Charter)
• Measure: set goals/measures based
on local data (Action Plan)
• Analyze: data collection / analysis
(action steps)
• Improve: test/pilot change; identify
improvements (action steps)
• Continuously improve/Control:
sustain / scale what works (action
steps)
Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA)
97
Continuous Improvement in Action. . .
Individually
Individual school teacher works with children
to set goals and test interventions to improve
learning in the classroom
Organizationally
Organizations (e.g. school districts or direct
service providers) practice continuous
improvement across their institution to
improve services and supports for children
and families
Collectively
Partners (e.g. Leadership Table or
Community Action Networks)
collectively track the impact of interventions
against shared outcomes to improve services
and supports for children and families

CORE VALUES AND GUIDING
PRINCIPLES
129
© 2014 StriveTogether
130
Core Values
• A collective vision around education and learning is key to community
prosperity;
• Education is required to participate in a democratic society;
• The systems in our community that perpetuate inequities must be
dismantled and reconstructed to prepare all children for success;
• Accountability and metrics are critical to measuring success; and
• Inclusion of those that have been marginalized builds stronger
communities.
© 2014 StriveTogether
131
What the Community Has Said About
Developing Core Values and Guiding
Principles
• This is very important and should be done soon and in writing.
• Should reflect the commitment to full and open engagement.
There should be a strong commitment to bringing new people in
and not falling back to only the same faces.
• A commitment to transparency is essential.
• A commitment to working through differences/disagreements
instead of “picking up your toys and going home”. This is too
frequent and a poor model for young people. It undermines
progress.
• We need to commit to honoring the process.
• Highlight the point that this work is about kids not individual
hidden agendas, grudges or certain points of view. “Can we put
our egos aside?”
Continued…
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
We should value honesty and authenticity.
We need to commit to ensuring access to information.
We need to value the full diversity of the community.
A commitment to social justice and equity is essential.
A commitment needs to be made to the greater good.
If we fail, we fail forward!
Must promote a spirit of optimism and pride. We want
all people and especially young people to be proud of
Bridgeport.
• Inclusion, inclusion, inclusion.
• Civility and respect in the room.
Continued…
• A commitment to all voices being heard.
• A commitment to young people being engaged as
partners in the solution.
• Shared decision making is essential for folks to have
buy in and feel empowered.
• We need to commit to celebrating successes.
• Value all children, parents and educators.
• No tolerance for divisiveness, but room for healthy
disagreement.
• We must commit to being adaptable, agile and
improvement oriented. Everything will not be perfect,
but that is not a reason to give up!

Backbone Function Roles
Fiscal Agent
Provide limited financial and legal oversight
like overseeing grants and budgeting for
the partnership. The fiscal agent typically
needs to be a 501(c)3 organization to
receive tax-free donations, including grants.
Staffing
Support the salaries of new employees or loan
existing employees to staff the partnership.
Employees of the partnership, whose time is not
donated as in-kind support, are often supported by
the fiscal agent.
The key partnership staff positions are:
House the Partnership
Provide office and meeting space as well as
technology needs for partnership staff.
This is typically the mailing address of
the partnership and recognized as the
partnership’s main location.
• Partnership Director- A full-time dedicated staff
person that provides leadership and management
to ensure the mission and values of the
partnership are put into practice
• Facilitator- Supports continuous
improvement action planning
• Data Manager- Supports analysis,
management, integration, and reporting of
data
• Communication/Community Engagement
Manager- Supports internal and external
communications and engagement of the
broader community

individuals for the leadership table.
Develop and implement a plan for
securing funding and resources to advance
the partnership’s work. Tap into existing
relationships to build financial support for
the partnership.
Communications
Data Support
Develop a set of key messages about the partnership
and communicate them regularly to internal
partners and the broad community. Establish the
necessary mechanisms for communicating about the
partnership (newsletter, website, etc.). Release an
annual report card to the community that effectively
communicates the importance and meaning of the
data for each of the partnership’s community-level
outcomes. Enable the flow of information between
the different groups within the partnership.
Enable the access, analysis, and utilization
of data to support the partnership.
• Data Access- enables necessary data
that is crucial to advancing the work of
the partnership to be accessed and used
for data-driven decision making.
• Data Analysis- analyzes data according to
the partnership’s needs.
• Data Coaching- trains and supports
