Federal, state and local transportation guidelines strongly encourage or even require that transportation officials conduct “meaningful” public engagement as part of their planning and decision-making processes. But the most well-intentioned efforts can fail to reach low-income and minority communities that are often still not at the table when important decisions are being made. In order for marginalized communities to participate effectively in public process, government agencies and private funders must invest in their time, skills and capacity to engage in time-consuming and complex discussions such as those around transportation, planning and funding decisions. Attendees will discuss what capacity-building is and why it is important, and learn from recent capacity-building efforts in health, community planning and transportation.

SEVAK aims to engage more young people in community-based volunteerism. Current efforts to mobilize individuals place the burden of discovery on volunteers and are biased towards those who are already civically engaged. SEVAK adopts a proactive approach driven by a ‘social recruitment’ philosophy. We complement organization-created requests with personalized appeals from registered volunteers, and use intelligent algorithms combining task-compatibility with social affinity to recommend relevant opportunities. This drives conversion of un-engaged youth to civic causes and rewards existing volunteers by giving them additional ways to make and measure their impact. The SEVAK solution consists of a web-based engine with mobile/web applications for volunteer use. Sevak was selected as a finalist for the Civic Data Challenge launched by the The National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC). Currently we are in the implementation phase, and looking for non-profits and volunteers interested in beta-testing Sevak!

This webinar digs deeper on the Pathways Action Platform area and learn from one organization that is successfully providing students with effective work-based learning opportunities. Research has shown that providing students with experiential learning while in high school, like internships and other work-based learning opportunities, can have a positive impact on student outcomes. Learning rooted in real-life experience has proven to increase intrinsic motivation to learn, promotes reflection, and associates positive emotions with learning. Given that capacity and resources can constrain traditional high schools in providing youth with real-world work experiences and soft skills job training, what does it take to provide students with the experiences and skills that are needed to succeed in life after high school? How can schools and non-profit partners work together to provide access to these opportunities? What does it take to establish partnerships that positively connect the high school experience to postsecondary pathways? Urban Alliance works to answer these questions for young people in Baltimore, Chicago, Washington, DC, Detroit, and Northern Virginia. Urban Alliance provides underserved high school seniors with professional development training, a 10-month paid internship, one-on-one mentoring, and ongoing post-high school support. They will talk in detail about how they teach professional soft skills to high school students; the resources, partnerships, and capacities needed to implement their model; and the data that speaks to their success. We will also hear from a few youth who have benefited from the work of this organziation.

The GradNation campaign invites you to join a webinar on December 13th, 2018 from 3:00 – 4:15 p.m. ET that dives deeply into the Youth Re-engagement area. Six percent of the class of 2016 did not graduate from high school and was not enrolled in a program to graduate. Though these young people have the potential to graduate, they have not completed school and lack a clear pathway to finish. Re-engagement centers have emerged as a successful way to locate youth aged 16 to 24 who have left the traditional school system and connect them to effective educational options and other services, so they can attain a high school diploma or GED. In this webinar, we will hear from the National League of Cities on the re-engagement landscape and learn from The Boston Re-Engagement Center and their success in bringing young people back to earn their diplomas. We will define re-engagement and its importance, discuss barriers youth face in returning to education, and describe the strategies to re-engage students. We will also hear from young people served by the Boston Re-Engagement Center.

A positive school environment that is safe, supportive, and inclusive can increase student engagement, attendance, and achievement. Against a backdrop of teacher and leader changes, school improvement plans, and increased youth voice, what does it take to create a positive school climate? What is the field doing to ensure that school climate is positive for the students and the school staff? What does it take to establish a web of support for young people and for the adults tasked to raise student achievement and graduation rates? During this webinar, participants will learn from City Year National and City Year Detroit in partnership with Osborn High School. They will share their whole child, data-driven approach and the resources and capacities needed to implement it at the individual student, classroom and school-wide levels.

America's Promise Alliance

Do harsh disciplinary practices have a place in today’s schools? Suspending and expelling students detrimentally affects their chances to graduate – and ultimately affects their chances of securing employment and succeeding in life. New research from the Center for Promise—Disciplined and Disconnected: How Students Experience Exclusionary Discipline in Minnesota and the Promise of Non-Exclusionary Alternatives—answers these questions. In this webinar, you will learn more about the findings of the CFP's latest research, the broader national implications for policy and practice of these findings, and the kind of support adults need to implement more effective practices that do not lead to further disconnection.

This month's GradNation webinar discussed the impacts of poverty and adversity on academic achievement and to two research-based strategies for supporting students. Participants learned about the research base that sheds light on how poverty, adversity, and outside-of-school factors impact students’ academic success. Guest speakers included Turnaround for Children and City Connects, two organizations that are successfully addressing adolescent needs outside of the classroom. Presenters shared lessons learned and resources from their models and offered insights into how the models could be replicated.

INFORMATIONAL WEBINAR: America’s Promise Healthy Schools Fund

America's Promise Alliance

As part of Together for Healthy and Successful Schools, America’s Promise will extend a new funding opportunity to communities seeking to create healthier school environments for all children. Recognizing that school-centered health intersects with many areas outside of education—housing, employment, transportation, and food access— efforts should serve as a hub for cross-sector collaboration, youth and community engagement, and broader policy and systemic change. Three to five existing districts and/or community-level organizations will be selected to receive up to $150,000 each per year for two years (for a total of up to $300,000) to support collaborative efforts that display alignment with this vision and a proven ability to accelerate positive change for young people in schools and their communities.

America's Promise Alliance

America's Promise Alliance Community Convention 2016 Too many young people experience a severe level of adversity in their homes, schools, and communities. More than one-quarter of those from families living in poverty experience enough adversity to negatively affect their long-term health and educational outcomes. Science and practice tells us that relationships with caring, supportive adults and peers can buffer the impacts of adversity, encourage the social and emotional competencies a young person needs to succeed in school and life, and help a young person navigate the complexities of life. For this session discussed the role of adversity in young people’s lives and how the most scalable solution, people, can be leveraged to support young people through these adversities.

America's Promise Alliance Community Convention 2016 Supporting Young People’s Healthy Development through Sports What if every child had the opportunity to play sports? Even though we know the many benefits associated with sports, youth sports participation is on the decline across the country. How do we remove barriers and provide more access to these opportunities for more children, particularly those from low-income communities? How do we make this a health and wellness priority for the nation? This session discussed a national effort working to reimagine sports in America with health and inclusion as core values. In addition to getting a national perspective, they discussed how one local Y is revamping their entire sports program to get more kids engaged and living a healthy lifestyle.
