SUMMARY:When Children Succeed: A Collective Impact Success Story
DESCRIPTION:Description\nSaint John, New Brunswick, is celebrating 20 years of community-wide poverty reduction efforts, an increase in community resilience, and a 69% reduction in poverty.\nIn the new case study, Saint John Stronger Together, author and former Vice President of Caledon Institute, Sherri Torjman, helps tell the story of a community that came together to end generational poverty. The story shares what the community has achieved in two decades and the lessons they learned along the way.\nOne of the topics Torjman explores is community’s adoption of priority actions clustered into four pillars: community empowerment, learning, and economic and social inclusion.\nThis webinar dives into one of the collective’s big successes: Closing the Education-Achievement Gap.\nThis collective impact initiative increased Grade 3 literacy rates of students in low-income schools to match the provincial district average.\nThe success of their collaboration reveals several lessons in partnership. Such as:\n\nThe social role of businesses and the education sector in poverty reduction\nThe importance of tracking and sharing medium-term results\nA feasible scope and scale at the community-level\nPersistent incrementalism – turning pilot programs into policy change\n\n \nJoin the webinar with author, Sherri Torjman and community organizers from Saint John, New Brunswick to explore their process, partnerships, innovations and learnings.\nFurther Reading:\n\nCASE STUDY | Saint John Stronger Together\n\n \nSpeakers\n\nSherri Torjman, Author, Saint John Stronger Together\nSherri Torjman is the writer who accepted the task of synthesizing Saint John’s journey into a short, impactful and readable case study titled Saint John Stronger Together.\nSherri was Vice President of the Caledon Institute of Social Policy for 25 years and is currently a social policy consultant.
