Children, parents and local community organizations gathered on Sept. 7 at John O\u2019Connell High School for the launch of a community-wide initiative that promises to provide economic stability and support to Mission District students and their families.<\/p>\n

Nine months ago, MEDA was awarded a $30 million grant by the U.S. Department of Education to provide services for low-income residents in the Mission through a program known as Mission Promise Neighborhood (MPN).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are bringing community organizations together to coordinate and integrate their services to ensure that families can move through what we are calling a cradle to college to career pipeline seamlessly, \u201d said Victor Corral, Interim Project Director of MPN.<\/p>\n

For the next five years, MEDA will receive six million dollars per year to fund the three primary components of MPN: project management, program implementation and data analysis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are funding a lot of partner organizations to continue delivering, expanding and increasing the quality of services for the long term,\u201d said Corral.<\/p>\n

Abriendo Puertas, Spanish for \u201copening doors\u201d, is a free parent education and leadership program at Good Samaritan Resource Center partially funded by MPN. The program was created by Latinos for Latinos and consists of a series of leadership workshops for low-income parents with children up to 5-years-old.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cover the\u2026cradle to preschool [stages] by getting the family prepared,\u201d said Aura Aparicio, Service Coordination Manager. \u201cBecause parents are the first teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n

MEDA dedicated the first six months of the year to finalizing contracts with partner organizations as well as hiring and training new employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hired 25 people to ramp up and support the MPN and to support the organizational work,\u201d said Corral.<\/p>\n

The final component of the initiative will be to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of MEDA and its partner organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201c[MEDA] began a partnership with Stanford to design an evaluation process,\u201d said Corral.<\/p>\n

Although the frequency of data collection and evaluation is still in the works, one of MEDA\u2019s goals is transparency.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be working with several organizations to conduct a lot of surveys, collect a lot of data, to analyze it and get it out into the community, to[show] how we are using the money and\u2026the impact that it is having,\u201d said Corral. \u201cWe want to be transparent.\u201d<\/p>\n
