Annual Report

The report for Year 2 of the Los Angeles Urban League's Neighborhoods@Work initative is now available. From Chief Neighborhood Officer Pamela Bakewell:

The Neighborhoods@Work Report for Year Two includes an overview of our work from July 2008 through June 2009. We are proud to report our key accomplishments and key learnings to date, which demonstrate how we are “moving the needle”—the theme of this report. In Year One, we concentrated our efforts on infrastructure development; in Year Two, we implemented integrated activities and programs to achieve measurable impact in each of the five disciplines—Education, Employment, Health, Housing and Safety. In Year Two, we also moved further into the evaluation process of our model. We engaged experts who helped design intricate logic models for each discipline. We are excited to share a key learning of our work which indicated the need to develop a strategic approach to outreach. This resulted in the decision to add a sixth discipline in Year Three—Community Engagement and Outreach.

As Chief Neighborhood Officer, I am excited to be part of an innovative and creative initiative that allows me to serve this community in groundbreaking new ways. The authority and success of this initiative lies with the residents of the targeted 70- blocks of the Park Mesa Heights community. The mission of Neighborhoods@Work is to provide access and opportunity in the five disciplines, creating pathways of maximum potential to each man, woman and child who lives in this community.
