Before we get on the “road”  What burning questions do you have that prompted you to attend this session?  What do you want to learn most that can help you tomorrow in your work?  Poll: Which stage best describes your collaborative at present? emerging , established , in transition , or ready for renewal.

Starting the Journey  Internal and external factors precipitating the renewal process  Scanning national models  Data collection/weighing options  Sharing our tools

The Right Time for Renewal Despite the gains made for older youth in Philadelphia between 2006-2015, PUT leadership were confronted with several signals that it was time to reassess how the collaborative could best carry its work forward  Data  Uneven improvements in key outcomes  A mayoral transition  A slowdown in collaborative momentum

The Right Time for Renewal Seeing these signals, PUT leadership drew on three dynamics that confirmed the moment was right for a collaborative refresh and relaunch  A strong backbone organization (PYN)  Enduring relationships with partners and practitioners  Ongoing investments from national and local funders

Partner interview questions
