The Geneva Community Center hosted a meeting of the Geneva2020 Literacy Action Team to discuss improving literacy in the community. The agenda included welcoming attendees, collecting charter agreements, analyzing literacy data from 2012-2016, discussing summer programming and data collection, family involvement, and benefits of joining the Geneva2020 initiative. Participants brainstormed ideas for incorporating literacy into summer activities and discussed working as a team using data and continuous improvement to help local youth graduate prepared for their futures.

Geneva 2020:
• National and state initiative support

• Stronger connection to GCSD
• Broader community backing
• Potential increase of grant funding
9. We’d like to put together an
information sheet of ideas for
Geneva organizations to use to
help incorporate literacy into
summer programing.
Brainstorming starts now!
Introductions
Who you are? What organization do you represent? What literacy role do you play in Geneva?
The basic idea behind the image is that, in any community, all of the programs and organizations are working diligently to have their work moving in a positive direction. But with a collective impact model in place, all of the participating programs and organizations use the same data and continuous improvement practices and work together to achieve real, tangible change in their community. Working separately but in concert towards the same outcomes, the work becomes far more impactful, engaging and sustainable.
