Want to talk about community initiatives?While community-based approaches have been an integral element of CSBG and Community Action throughout its history, these efforts are among the most difficult to implement and document. Community-level transformations often require multiple organizations working together to promote changes on a scale that is outside of the direct control of the eligible entity. These efforts typically require extensive planning, take more than one year to implement, and require high quality data analysis to demonstrate the impact of specific strategies on specific community conditions. In addition, unlike direct services to individuals and families, it is difficult to aggregate or “roll-up” the number of service units and outcomes into state and national reports. Join us as we talk more about changing the community around us in this important session. Tuesday, March 26 - register HERE. |
Wyoming Kids Count ReportFor each Wyoming family and as data are available, the Wyoming Community Foundation (WYCF) reports data on 19 indicators in four broad areas: family structure, healthcare, income and poverty, and food insecurity. WYCF selected these indicators because the data are available at the county level in Wyoming and because of each indicator's importance to childhood well-being. Read county by county profiles on these data indicators for 2023, sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey and Current Population Survey; the Wyoming Department of Health; and Feeding America. |
The VISTA for Improving Services for Children and Families will support the launch of Family Resource Centers and create a community awareness campaign. The VISTA will help alleviate poverty by improving opportunities for families to break the cycle of abuse and neglect, building capacity by ensuring that services meet the needs of the community, and by increasing awareness of available services. The VISTA’s efforts will result in a written program analysis, data visualization tools, and community awareness materials.
