IBM Smarter Cities has announced a new Municipal Data Integration Partnership with NLC that will help cities build smarter human service systems through direct technical assistance and new technology.
A major new report developed by the YEF Institute offers city leaders a detailed guide for building management information systems in order to coordinate local afterschool programs more effectively.
Developed by NLC's Council on Youth, Education and Families and leading mayoral champions, the City Platform for Children and Families provides municipal leaders with a framework for taking action on behalf of the children, youth and families in their cities and towns.
The Forum for Youth Investment, working in collaboration with NLC, launched this initiative to help local policymakers develop a shared and actionable vision for youth in their communities.
The YEF Institute and the Forum for Youth Investment sponsored an hour-long webinar that introduced city officials, senior municipal staff and community partners to Ready by 21 - a set of innovative strategies that helps communities improve the odds that all children and youth will be ready for college, work and life.
The YEF Institute and the Foundation Strategy Group recently sponsored a 90 minute webinar on "Improving Outcomes for Children and Youth through Collective Impact."
Published with support from The Wallace Foundation, this strategy guide developed by the YEF Institute and the Harvard Family Research Project highlights six strategies for collecting and using data to assess and improve local afterschool programs.
Cities are increasingly developing the “infrastructure” needed to make lasting improvements in child and family well-being. Key strategies for building this capacity include establishing broader, more effective partnerships, creating goal-oriented action plans, pursuing creatvie funding strategies and collecting and using better data.
