DC ONE CITY SUMMER INITIATIVE

The District of Columbia’s (the District) One City Summer Initiative (OCSI) bears many of the hallmarks of this “collective impact” strategy. It is a COLLABORATIVE INITIATIVE, drawing on the talents and resources of 27 District government agencies, more than 100 community-based organizations, dozens of young adult and community leaders, and over 19,600 children and youth.

It is a COORDINATED INITIATIVE with an intermediary organization, the DC Children and Youth Investment Trust Corporation (the Trust), straddling the public and nonprofit communities and serving as the lead entity administering the project on behalf of the District government.

And it is a GOAL- ORIENTED AND DATA-DRIVEN INITIATIVE based on shared citywide youth goals and a comprehensive data and evaluation plan capable of measuring impact.

Having just completed the third year of the OSCI, we can add a fourth component to what makes it a successful model of the “collective impact” strategy: it is a LONGTERM INITIATIVE. OCSI has grown from an explicitly anti-crime initiative to a citywide children, youth and community development strategy focusing on target areas and the District overall. Centered on youth development outcomes and achieving positive, meaningful changes in the lives of children, youth and families, the One City Summer Initiative has become a stable, robust and institutionalized initiative within the District. It has changed in response to experiences, recommendations and shifting budgetary realities, and there is still much that can be improved. We are committed to the continual growth and evolution of the One City Summer Initiative into the year-round One City Youth Initiative and to the positive changes it can bring to the lives of District residents.

We invite you to read further about OCSI 2013.

MEASURABLE CITYWIDE YOUTH GOALS The initiative continued its goal-driven approach to summer programming by focusing on five citywide youth goals.

In 2012, OCSI organizers developed five citywide summer goals based on core youth development principles that were widely adopted in the District of Columbia.

Responding to feedback from OCSI 2012, those goals were revised to be more comprehensive, age-appropriate and measurable. They were also aligned with agency goals and ongoing District initiatives and legislation such as RaiseDC, the Mayor’s One City Action Plan, the City Council’s Healthy Schools Act, Workforce Investment Council (WIC), and other citywide initiatives. The outcome measures were also aligned to accurately measure OCSI’s progress towards the youth outcomes.

In OCSI 2013, the five goals for children, youth and families were: »» GOAL 1: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: Young people will gain meaningful work and career exposure, experience, and skills. »» GOAL 2: ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT: Children and youth will increase their academic knowledge and skills and increase their chance of academic advancement. »» GOAL 3: HEALTHY LIFESTYLES: Children and youth will increasingly adopt healthy lifestyles. »» GOAL 4: SAFETY AND STRUCTURE: Children and youth will have a safe summer. »» GOAL 5: STRENGTHENING FAMILIES: Children, youth and families will have opportunities to strengthen their family.

EXPANDED TARGET AREA STRATEGY The selection of target areas followed the same collaborative process as in past years. The OCSI steering committee looked at crime and social indicators to select nine areas to focus its efforts. Youth and homeless families sheltered at DC General Homeless Shelter (DC General) were also target populations. Recognizing that OCSI 2012 2013 One City Summer Initiative Target Area and Summer Crime Initiative Area Map

struggled to meet the goals of family strengthening and engaging older youth, the OCSI 2013 Target Area Strategy was refined to focus more attention on programming and outreach anchored in DC Housing Authority (DCHA) communities within the target areas. This partnership with DCHA communities allowed for available services to be brought directly into the communities where the youth and families reside.

DATA COLLECTION AND EVALUATION STRATEGY The enhanced data and evaluation strategy enabled an easier data entry process for agencies and CBOs. Coordinated efforts between agencies and CBOs yielded a unique count of youth participating in programs and more accurate demographic data. Outcome measures, including a youth survey and focus groups, were more closely aligned to the stated citywide goals, which allowed for more accurate assessments of OCSI youth’s

OCSI 2013 honed those strategies and procedures to achieve more effective inter-agency and public-private collaborations; better outcomes for children, youth and families; higher levels of youth engagement and more accurate data regarding participation, programming and youth outcomes. Details of those changes follow in the planning section of this report.

As in past years, District government agencies and CBOs sponsored a wide variety of summer programs and community events. For OCSI 2013, we grouped those offerings into categories: Programs were defined as organized and coordinated activities that occurred for at least five

Over 19,600 unique children and youth participated in 121 OCSI programs at 602 sites across the District. The government agencies and community-based organizations (CBO) that ran these programs intentionally aligned them with the five citywide youth goals. In addition to this structured programming, two government agencies also hosted 66 unique drop-in programs for 6,775 children and youth, and government agencies and CBOs hosted 441 community events for approximately 34,000

PLANNING

2013 ONE CITY SUMMER INITIATIVE PLANNING PROCESS The OCSI was led by the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice (DMPSJ), the Deputy Mayor of Health and Human Services (DMHHS), and the Deputy Mayor for Education (DME), on behalf of Mayor Vincent C. Gray. As in 2012, the Deputy Mayors worked closely with leadership from the DC Children and Youth Investment Trust Corporation (Trust) to convene District government agency directors and their key summer staff for regular planning and implementation meetings.

Two central bodies formed the core of the planning process for OCSI 2013. The first group was made up of the Deputy Mayors and agency directors. Meeting monthly beginning in January 2013, this group was responsible for the high-level coordination and accountability necessary for a successful collaboration. The Steering Committee, composed of high- and mid-level agency staffers with significant content-area knowledge and agency influence, met monthly beginning in December 2012. The Steering Committee was responsible for informing the development of the initiative strategy, making recommendations to their agency directors, and general administration of the initiative. Steering Committee members met in smaller working groups to develop specific initiative components, including the Target Area Strategy, the

16

DC ONE CITY SUMMER INITIATIVE

communications and marketing strategy and the data and evaluation strategy. (See Appendix A online for a list of agencies that participated in the planning and programming.) In addition to the regular Directors’ and Steering Committee meetings, planners used a shared technology platform to facilitate the dissemination of agendas, planning documents and other resources.

In 2013, the organizers also made more deliberate attempts to reach beyond government agencies and engage community stakeholders and youth themselves in the planning process. At the end of February, the Trust convened a Citywide Summer Strategy Session for community-based organizations (CBOs). The Trust followed up on this Strategy Session with ward-level meetings in April in which community leaders, representatives of CBOs, and key staff from several agencies learned about the city’s youth goals and shared program information and resources. (Appendix B online provides a planning timeline.)

Organizers also worked to include youth voices in the planning process. During the spring of 2013, the Trust held five youth focus groups in the selected target areas to get a sense of the kinds of programs youth engaged in during previous summers, and what they would like to see in their areas in summer 2013.

COMPONENT 2: EXPANDED TARGET AREA STRATEGY The One City Summer Initiative began in 2010 as a strategy to reduce crime in identified high-crime communities. While a major goal of the initiative remains to create a safe summer for District residents, the initiative has evolved into a more comprehensive youth development strategy in targeted neighborhoods and across the District, knowing that if the District can engage children and youth in more meaningful activities, there will be a noticeable decline in negative outcomes.

In 2012, the Summer Steering Committee and the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) mapped crime data and selected social and behavioral indicators such as teenage pregnancy and academic outcomes. Youth indicators were mapped across Police Service Areas (PSA) and were compared to a map noting locations of Trustfunded programs, DC Public Schools (DCPS), DC Public Libraries (DCPL), and Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) facilities, among other youth-serving efforts. Not surprisingly, it became clear that those areas with little programming had a greater incidence of teen pregnancies and other negative health, social, and education indicators. The result was the identification of areas of particular need, called “target areas.” (Appendix E online provides a set of maps used to identify the target areas.)

Responding to the success of the 2012 Target Area Strategy, the OCSI 2013 Steering Committee undertook the same analysis with updated crime, socio-economic and behavioral data in January 2013. From that analysis, ten PSAs (103, 105, 302, 507, 601, 602, 604, 608, 702, and 706) were selected and identified as nine target areas.

DC General shelter was identified as another target area for Summer 2013. In April 2013, MPD reviewed the most recent crime data and identified four high crime areas as Summer Crime Initiative (SCI) areas, with one of the four SCI areas (Target Area 5: Kenilworth) overlapping with the OCSI target areas for 2013.

and youth together and worked with the Steering Committee to organize the day-to-day administration of the initiative.

Partners in OCSI 2012 recommended that a central repository of summer programming information be created; the development of such a website was central to the collaborative planning effort for OCSI 2013.

The result was Onecityyouth.dc.gov. 86The website was designed to meet the needs of four audiences: Youth, families, programs, and decision makers. Key elements for youth and families are: a calendar of events which contains government- and public-sponsored events; a search tool for young people and their families to find services and supports and easy-to-find links to popular government programs such as year-round employment.

The website was the public face of OCSI 2013 and facilitated community engagement and outreach.

The Trust also coordinated the strategic deployment and distribution of resources so that agencies and nonprofit partners could most effectively leverage available public dollars to best serve children, youth and families in areas of need.

In addition to District government agency funding,

the Trust distributed almost $3 million in District funds to

97 CBOs

in support of summer programming.

Each participating District government agency was required to provide four “evening outreach” programs over the course of the summer. (Appendix G online provides a calendar of the planned “evening outreach” events.) By identifying the target areas and organizing a calendar of events, the Steering Committee created a framework in which all agencies could use their previously budgeted resources to become involved in OCSI without duplicating efforts or over-saturating certain neighborhoods with programming.

The summer programming and youth development work was also carried out by community-based organizations.

The Trust’s “Traditional Summer Program” grant provided

public funding for established CBOs to serve 25–50 youth in 20–30 hours of programming each week for six weeks.

The Trust allocated more than $2.2 million in traditional summer program grants to 67 CBOs that offered programming for 2,875 children and youth.

New in 2013, OCSI provided $500,000 in “mini-grants” for smaller-scale programs and events, giving priority to programs serving young people in the target areas and those that had outcomes tied to academic achievement. Minigrants were awarded to both established CBOs and new or emerging CBOs that had a history and relationship to residents in the target area populations, or who were engaged in work that was considered to meet a strategic

and evaluation component as providing a valuable resource for understanding the successes and shortcomings of the summer program. Therefore, when it came time to organize data collection and evaluation for OCSI 2013, planners engaged in selective tweaking and refining so as to achieve cleaner, more accurate data in a more streamlined, user-accessible manner. Led by the Trust’s Research and Evaluation Manager, the data collection strategy involved revising the data collection template to include individual identifiers and separate tabs for programs, events and drop-in programs; these revisions were all aimed toward reducing the number of duplicated counts and establishing a more accurate baseline for long-term tracking toward outcomes. The youth participant post survey (youth survey) was also revised to more closely align with the youth outcomes.

Finally, at the conclusion of the summer, Trust leaders conducted focus groups with the OCSI youth participants and Young Adult Coordinators and held individual interviews with a selection of agency directors and steering committee members. (See Appendix I online for the Data Collection tools.)

This data allowed the Trust to report on OCSI participant demographic information, participation rates, summer goals impacted, geographic distribution of programs, youth perceptions of their experience in the summer programming, and the reflections of youth participants, youth staff and initiative organizers. The data was also used to create a descriptive analysis to measure the overall effectiveness of the OCSI. Some of the findings are discussed in the following sections; other findings will appear in subsequent reports.

OVERVIEW OF PROGRAMS More than 19,600 unique children and youth participated in agency or CBO-operated programs that aimed to achieve one or more of the citywide goals. OCSI programs took place across the District, and some programs (such as SYEP and DPR-operated programs) occurred in multiple sites across the District. The following figures show the breakdown of all program participation by goal, youth age group and target area. Note that because programs could offer multiple goals, youth participation in this section is a measure of participation in a goal area, not in a unique program. As a result, the total number of “participants” exceeds the total number of unique youth.

OVERVIEW OF EVENTS The 441 government- and CBO-sponsored events engaged 33,967 children, youth and adults. Events included community street fairs, workshops, and evening OCSI outreach events in the target areas. It should be noted that this is a duplicated count of young people, as they could participate in more than one event as well as a combination of programs and events. More than half of the events were new in 2013 and included outings to sporting events, performing arts shows, and health and wellness outreach activities. See Appendix G online for a list of planned evening outreach events and Appendix J online for a list of all community events submitted to One City Youth website. Agencies and CBOs hosted additional targeted events across the District.

Most of the events focused on Goals 3 and 4, Healthy Lifestyles and Safety and Structure. This was largely because DPR and MPD sponsored more events than any other agencies using mobile activities such as Beat the

2013 ONE CITY SUMMER INITIATIVE

DISTRICT AGENCIES’ & CBOS’ PARTICIPATION DISTRICT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES’ OCSI PARTICIPATION Government agencies were required to develop programs that aligned with the five citywide summer goals.

Twenty-seven government agencies participated in OCSI 2013 through planning meetings, programming citywide and in the target areas and distributing resources at community and evening outreach events. These agencies provided programming to over 80% of the total OCSI participants in programs (19,622 unique children and youth).

In addition, a total of 67 agencies employed 4,738 youth, or 42% of the total SYEP youth, extending the number of agencies involved in OCSI and its youth development goals. Finally, government agencies also provided space for community-based organizations for site operation.

The major youth-serving agencies in the District government—DCPL, DCPS, DMH, DOES, DPR, MPD, and OSSE— provided a variety of programs and activities including summer camps, enrichment activities, summer school, summer jobs/career exploration and sports camps. Table 4 presents information about their summer programming.

TRUST-FUNDED COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS’ OCSI PARTICIPATION During OCSI 2013, the Trust funded 97 nonprofit community-based organizations to work with 3,874 youth.

(Appendix H online lists the grantees.) Funding priority was given to those organizations whose programming would be located in one or more of the target areas.

Community-based organizations offered a variety of programs including arts, sports, academic enrichment, and technology. While many CBOs ran programs at their own sites, others operated in DC government agency sites through partnerships facilitated by the Trust. Government agency hosts included the DC Housing Authority, DC Public Schools, and Department of Parks and Recreation.

As previously mentioned, all Trust-funded organizations were required to work toward at least one of the five OCSI

ONE CITY SUMMER 2013 YOUTH OUTCOMES TOWARD CITYWIDE GOALS The youth survey was developed to measure four of the five OCSI goals (See Appendix D online for the Goals Matrix.) As mentioned, the five youth- and family-related goals undergirding OCSI 2013 were: »» GOAL 1: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT: Young people will gain meaningful work and career exposure, experience, and skills. »» GOAL 2: ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT:

»» GOAL 5: STRENGTHENING FAMILIES: Children, youth and families will have opportunities to strengthen their family.

Analysis of Goal 5, Strengthening Families, is not included in this section of the report as most of the OCSI programs focused on the other four goals.

The answers to the survey were scaled: “A lot,” “A little,” and “Not at all.” The following sections provide youth outcome findings by goal area and age group. The discussion of outcomes by goal area focuses on responses of “A lot,” as those responses were considered the strongest

MPD’s goal was to reduce violent crimes—primarily homicides and robberies—committed by those under age 18 in the target areas, not by increasing the number of arrests, but by implementing strategies that reduced the number of crimes being committed. These strategies included: »» Increasing MPD’s presence; »» Increasing programs and activities that gave residents

APPENDIX D: OCSI 2013 YOUTH GOALS

The five goals (Workforce Development, Educational Achievement, Healthy Lifestyles, Safety and Structure and Strengthening Families) are compartmentalized on the matrix, but it should be noted that many of the outcomes are interrelated in achieving the ultimate goal of increasing the success of youth transitioning positively into adulthood.

The goals were developed using a child and youth development framework and reflect an integration of current DC initiative goals and blend policy, research and practice. District agencies providing input for the goals include CFSA, DCPL, DCHA, DCPS, DMH, DOES, DOH, DPR, DYRS, MPD, OAG, and OSSE. The goals are pending review from Raise DC, Healthy Schools Act, Workforce Investment Council, and the One City Action Plan initiatives.

APPENDIX F: OCSI 2013 YOUNG ADULT COORDINATOR JOB DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION YOUNG ADULT COORDINATOR POSITION DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND The Mayor’s One City Summer Initiative (OCSI), coordinated by the DC Children and Youth Investment Trust Corporation (CYITC), brings together DC government agencies and community partners to coordinate strong opportunities, services, and supports for youth and families in the City during the summer months.

Young Adult Coordinators will also lead that site’s younger youth (ages 5-12) in a youthidentified community action or civic engagement project using promising practices of positive youth development.

Young Adult Coordinators will work from mid-June to mid-August, with an intense 2 week training prior to working in their assigned DCHA community. Direct work in the community will be six weeks (July 1-August 9); and closing with an additional few days of wrap-up work (evaluations, reports, etc.).

Just as a reminder, all responses will be kept entirely confidential.

Before we begin, I just want to remind you that in interviews of this kind, some questions might seem repetitive, but that’s because people remember different things when prompted in different ways at different times. Thanks for your patience!

First a few questions about your role and your agency: 1. Have you participated in a previous One City Summer Initiative? a. If so, what previous roles have you played?

2. What was your role in OCSI this year?

3. What information did you receive about your role (duties and responsibilities) and from whom?

Now, I’d like to ask you some questions about the planning process for One City Summer.

4. Do you think there is value in working with other agencies in this sort of collaborative initiative?

If so, what is it?

5. What are some of the specific challenges and opportunities raised by this sort of collaboration?

6. What benefits did your agency realize as a result of this collaboration?

7. Can you tell me which aspects of the planning process went particularly well in your opinion? Which went less well?

Now, let’s talk about the summer itself.

8. What were your expectations of One City Summer and your agency’s role at the beginning of the summer?

9. What do you think a successful summer (program?) looks like in the eyes of youth? Of agencies?
