In these neighborhoods, today's children will spend 91% of their lives between 0 and 18 years of age outside school hallways. Vibrant supportive communities today have a determinative influence on child outcomes, and tomorrow's neighborhoods. What does it take to change an isolated, disengaged community into one filled with adult supportive relationships and a community of hope and inspiration? We leverage best practices in community transformation, centered around relocation, redistribution, and reconciliation by embedding a school-connected worker in our poorest neighborhoods, living 7x24 in residence, working in child and community relationship, and building bridges with key community partners and resources. The change is here already. Community Works - Outreach - Excelencia School serves 98% Title I children with a large McKinney Vento population in neighborhoods of high need, with various systemic challenges such as limited walkability and local resources. We provided restorative community practices designed to reinvigorate community identity and create community relationships for the purpose of generating greater child protective factors in our communities and building adult supportive relationships. We provisioned one community worker to live in residence in these neighborhoods - in an Excelencia School neighborhood apartment. Provisioned a team of 3 public allies to accelerate community contact. Developed community outreach program around Excelencia School in Phoenix, AZ using this team, and constant outreach activities in the form of canvassing, running solicitation tables, hosting events, and performing service. Performed 7 months of relationship building and coordinating of community projects. Constructed curriculum for child community service and leadership, and instructed approximately 90 children, while forming a Rotary International Interact Club after school and leading children in community service and engagement. Through these activities, we claim several achievements, including: 600 points of community interaction and connection among non-school connected community members; capture of 150 biographical interviews from community members; placement of over 150 symbols of community (yard signs, curb numbers/icons, business signs); involvement of 400 teachers in the story of our communities, and spreading the word about Creighton Community Foundation; and extensive multi-agency partnership. Additional programs detail some other specific areas of execution. 125000 106978 Community Works - Service - In partnership with various non-profits, School District resources, and service leadership students, provided many different services to meet needs, lift up the capacity of surrounding neighbors, and/or form relationships and engagement with surrounding community.
