Collective Impact efforts have five key attributes:
In this presentation we are going to use our community collaboration to demonstrate the collective impact model and have activities for you all to consider for your own community collaborations
Roots:
HYP began many years ago as the Teen Pregnancy Prevention and Parenting Network, This group had been around for over ten years, and yet was struggling with membership and relevance.
In 2010, 2 agencies (Youth Launch and City of Austin) stepped up to take over support for TPPN and reengage the membership.
Needs Assessment:
Around that same, the City of Austin had a grant from the state health department to lead a strategic planning effort around adolescent health and wellbeing. As part of that planning effort a needs assessment was conducted that identified needs of adolescents as well as needs from the perspective of youth service providers (YSP’s). A key finding was that young people wanted more trust-worthy adults in their lives and service providers needed development in order to serve adolescents more effectively.
Transformation:
These needs helped inspire the redesign and transformation of TPPN into HYP. Rebranding as HYP helped recruit youth service providers from a broader range of agencies. As part of the transformation, further surveys were conducted to determine the development needs of YSP’s and customize a workshop schedule to meet those needs.
Filling a Gap:
Due to a changing economy with limited opportunities for professional development at many agencies, HYP helps fill a gap by providing high quality professional development to Youth Service Providers
Today, The Healthy Youth Partnership fosters collaboration and promotes professional development among youth-serving professionals in Central Texas through a variety avenues, including monthly workshops, an annual conference, a comprehensive teen pregnancy needs and opportunities assessment, an intensive leadership development program and ongoing communications efforts to improve access to resources, collaboration and support opportunities within the community.
Beyond simply providing CEUs and professional development, HYP’s investment in our local community helps insure a continuous pipeline of leaders for our organizations and the central Texas area.
Quick overview of the Logic Model. The logic model demonstrates the community need for HYP, the investment into HYP, our key activities and anticipated outcomes.
Needs Assessments:
As mentioned before, HYP began with the analysis from a community-wide needs assessment on adolescent health. This set a precedent for HYP being a data driven organization. Over the last few years, we have been conducting another community-wide needs assessment on teen pregnancy prevention and plan to distribute the data collected throughout our community. Many organizations came together to design and implement this needs assessment, further demonstrating their commitment to HYP’s efforts and the development of shared data.
Annual Survey:
HYP conducts evaluations on every monthly workshop, our annual conference, and our leadership development academy. This data is made available annually to our partner agencies and members. This sharing of information promotes transparency and collaboration in our organizations
Common Data for PREP:
Need to determine if we can include this

Cooperative Funding Efforts- our participating agencies communicate and collaborate about funding opportunities. We have multiple TPP funded projects in our communities and some agencies are supported by more than one related grant project. Several even chose to use the same curriculum for implementation.
Ongoing Planning and Assessment- HYP’s steering committee has a planning retreat once per quarter to plan HYP’s activities. We also often exchange information about key projects happening in our organizations to leverage support or further develop our collaborations.
Prioritizing Investments- Of the roughly 40 organizations that participate in HYP’s activities throughout the year, many have made significant investments into the organization to support our work. Our steering committee is made up of 8 representatives from 8 different organizations. Each organization sponsors the time of the staff on the steering committee. Many organizations allow staff to attend all of the monthly workshops they want, as well as the full day conference, and the leadership development academy (6 half day sessions).
Focus on Sustainability- Maybe discuss Lifeworks Sustainability planning here? – I can do that, and I have also included some of HYP’s sustainability strategies in the notes of slide 14

Should we put steering committee, major support orgs, or all orgs? – I think just steering committee
