Turning-it-Around Community Summits
Overview
The Project U-Turn Collaborative is planning
a series of “Turning-it-Around” Community
Summits in Philadelphia to raise awareness about
the dropout crisis and support local action to
do something about it. The first four Summits
will take place in the neighborhoods and focus
on the populations hardest hit by the dropout
crisis: North Philadelphia / African-American
males; Eastern North Philadelphia / Latinos;
Southwest Philadelphia; and South Philadelphia.
Everyone who is interested in learning more or
helping out is invited to attend.
Key elements
Each summit will:
- Include the active
participation of youth and parents
- Review local and
city-wide research on Philadelphia’s dropout
crisis
- Provide a synopsis
of the neighborhood’s “well-being” as
reported on the Community Report Cards
- Include a workshop
session in which attendees will participate
in the development of a community action
plan.
- Engage at least
100 attendees; including residents as well
as educators, business-owners, communities
of faith and non-profit leaders.
