Ovcrtown Children and Youth Coalition (C)CYG) was formed by the anchoring community base.d non-profit organizations in the Ovcrtown Community: Urgent, Inc., Ovcrtown Youth Center, Touching Miami With Love, Lotus House and Dress for Success with the support of the Southeast Overtown/Park 'West Community Redevelopment Agency and City of Miami District 5 City Commissioner Michelle Spence -,)ones. Within a few months several other stakeholders joined forces and began to work together under the umbrella of the Overtown Children and Youth Coalition, Establishing the OCYC was a groundbreaking step toward addressing the needs of Overtown's children in a mote holistic manner, a focus designed. to move away from the service based. structure. that addressed needs in siloes and towards a collective impact and systems level approach. The Coalitioi charged itself with three distinct responsibilities: I. Create a shared vision for community wide action that promotes excellence, empowerment, economic growth and success for all Overtown children and youth; 2. Prepare an application to become Florida's fourth Children's Initiative; and 3. Develop a pipeline of integrated high quality pathways for youth to succeed from birth through college. While the Coalition has been involved in several activities related to these responsibilities, its most significant accomplishment to date is th.e completion of the community's first Children and Youth. Master Plan (Plant), In addition, the Plan is a necessary component of the Florida Children's Initiative Application.

"Collective Impact" is a best practice framework that requires the commitment of a group of actors from different sectors to champion a common agenda to solve a complex social problem- By defining a common agenda, establishing shared measurement protocols and building a system of mutually reinforcing youth programs and services community -wide. Goal #1- Community Accountability OCYC will serve as a catalyst to convene, network., leverage, scale and impact a critical mass of children and youth who benefit from and contribute to the continued growth and redevelopment of the area in positive and meaningful ways.

Ovea:town community, government, nonprofits, philanthropy, the private sector, and engaged residents and most importantly in partnership with youth. To track success, the. accountability framework defined in Goal One. will be used. The successful implementation of this plan will also result in material and significant, measured improvement in the headline Goals within five (5) years of this Plan's adoption. The OCYC will monitor progress on every strategy each year, including prioritizing and assessing each strategy for feasibility. The Plan's intent is that each strategy be. fully implemented within four (4) years of this Plan's adoption. The Action Steps defined in the Plan are considered "first steps," and unless specified otherwise, will be accomplished within. one (I) year of this Pla.n's adoption. It is expected that the listed Action Steps to be undertaken in.ay change. in light of changed. circumstances, new information, accomplishment of an item and available resources. The OCYC will have an important ongoing role in monitoring and publishing the implementation of the Plan. Ultimately, however the results will rely on the active, coordinated leadership of the people and institutions providing services, adopting child policy, resourci.ng activities and providing opporttzni.ties for children, youth and families in Overtown.
