Strive: Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky, LLC (Strive)In its national Cradle to Career work, Strive reached the benchmark of having over 150 communities reach out for assistance in implementing collective impact initiatives using the Cradle to Career Civic Infrastructure framework. During the year, Strive saw 80 communities participate in its national network. Each community engages a variety of sectors, including education, youth development, philanthropy, civic, and business. Strive also embarked on the delivery of tools and resources to help communities better use data to drive decisions, including the Community Impact Report Card and the Student Success Dashboard. The Strive Partnership focused efforts on improving academic achievement in the Greater Cincinnati region's urban core and creating work groups around its shared outcomes to better align resources and funding. The Partnership realized success with coordinating volunteer recruitment through their initiative "Be the Change". The initiative recruits volunteer tutors from the business community and community at large to spend one hour a week tutoring an elementary student in Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS). The Partnership also worked with local school districts to incorporate the Learning Partner Dashboard, a data system that tracks the performance of students into the work of all resource coordinators within the districts.
