This report offers foundational evidence that is needed to implement an initiative that will improve outcomes for children and youth. The evidence collected came from four research activities. In our community profiles, demographics and social and developmental statistics were collected to help identify needs as well as community strengths. A program inventory was produced to offer an assessment of the services and supports available from cradle to career. A social network analysis was done to see how well programs and organizations were connected. Finally, we engaged youth, families and service providers to ensure that recommendations were based on an understanding of the community priorities, strengths, challenges and strategies for success.
