This report describes how eight different
cities have launched cross-system initiatives
and what they have accomplished through
these new collaborations. Their efforts vary
greatly and involve a broad array of partners. The
experience of all eight cities suggests that
simply opening a dialogue about the gaps
between public systems serving young people
can yield major dividends, and that the
benefits of collaboration become evident
even when as few as two key agencies start
working together. Cities profiles include Albany, New York; Boston, Massachusetts; San Diego, California; Baltimore, Maryland; Corpus Christi, Texas; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; San Fransisco, California; and San Jose, California. |
