Abstract | "For the Common Good" was designed as a statewide project to facilitate the formation of local interagency linkage teams throughout Ohio to improve services to at-risk youth and adults. The state team conducted three workshops during which 36 local interagency linkage teams were trained. A major portion of each workshop was set aside for development of an action plan. Three follow-up meetings provided support and technical assistance and an opportunity for teams to update their action plans. Findings of two local linkage team follow-up surveys indicated teams used a variety of organizational strategies to help them function, the most frequent being information exchange. Forty-one percent characterized the nature of their linkage teams as collaborative; 30 percent indicated it was cooperative; and 30 percent characterized them as both. Sixty-two percent said the accomplishments would not have been possible without the team. Results of a state team survey showed that respondents felt a block of time to develop a plan was the most important aspect of the workshops and follow-up meetings. They did not necessarily characterize the nature of the work of the local linkage teams as collaborative. A number of recommendations were made: workshops to train additional teams; additional follow-up activities for existing teams; a mentoring program matching experienced with newly formed teams; and shared information. (Appendixes include linkage team action plan objectives; response tabulations for surveys; and list of reported team accomplishments.) (YLB) |
