THE INITIAL 2010 GROUP OF 15 ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS CAME TO A CONSENSUS TO FOCUS THE HIP GROUP'S INITIAL EFFORTS ON IMPROVING THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ASSETS OF YOUTH IN THE FARGO-MOORHEAD (FM) AREA. THE INITIAL GOALS ESTABLISHED FOR THE HIP INITIATIVE WERE: 1) ENGAGING YOUTH, YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHERS TO DEVELOP A COORDINATED STRATEGY TO MAKE THE FM AREA A PLACE WHERE ALL YOUTH CAN MAXIMIZE THEIR POTENTIAL; 2) HOLD A YOUTH DEVELOPMENT SUMMIT; 3) RELEASE AN ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN OF ORGANIZATIONS SERVING YOUTH IN THE FM AREA THAT INCLUDES ORGANIZATION SIZE, AREAS OF FOCUS, AND COLLABORATION ACTIVITIES; 4) DEVELOP A BUDGET AND IDENTIFY AN INDIVIDUAL TO COORDINATE, PLAN AND IMPLEMENT THE NEXT PHASES FOR THE HIP GROUP. THE HIP INITIATIVE IS SUPPORTED WITH GRANTS FROM DAKOTA MEDICAL FOUNDATION, THE OTTO BREMER FOUNDATION, BUSH FOUNDATION, GROTTO FOUNDATION AND OTHER FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM THE UNITED WAY OF CASS CLAY, AND ALEX STERN FAMILY FOUNDATION. THE GOAL OF HIP IS TO INSPIRE FUNDERS TO ADOPT A NEW APPROACH TO MORE STRATEGICALLY AND COLLABORATIVELY SOLVE SOCIETAL ISSUES IN THE REGION.

A HIP COORDINATOR WAS HIRED IN APRIL 2011 TO OVERSEE THE INITIATIVE. A SERIES OF SIX COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS WERE HELD IN 2011 WITH CROSS-SECTOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM: SCHOOLS, CITY, BUSINESS, NONPROFITS, FAITH COMMUNITY, PARENTS, AND YOUTH. A COMMUNITY TASK FORCE WAS ASSEMBLED TO ASSIST THE HIP COORDINATOR WITH SELECTING A BLUEPRINT FRAMEWORK, COLLECTING ADDITIONAL DATA INFORMATION, IDENTIFYING BEST PRACTICES FOR YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, AND MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF THE HIP INITIATIVE. A YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE WAS HELD IN DECEMBER 2011 WITH OVER 100 PARTICIPANTS FROM 54 DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE F-M AREA. SUBGROUPS WERE CREATED TO FOLLOW-UP ON RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE SUMMIT AND MEETINGS WITH YOUTH AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP A COORDINATED COLLABORATIVE STRATEGY FOR OUR COMMUNITY OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. PLANNING TEAMS WERE FORMED FOLLOWING THE CONFERENCE WITH OVER 60 CROSS-SECTOR PARTICIPANTS. THE TEAMS WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING TO IDENTIFY AND WRITE THE OUTCOMES, INDICATORS, STRATEGIES AND PARTNERSHIPS FOR EACH OF THE FIVE DEVELOPMENTAL AREAS OF THE BLUEPRINT. VOLUNTEER INITIATIVE: THE FOUNDATIONS PARTNERED WITH IMPACT FOUNDATION IN 2007 TO IMPLEMENT A VOLUNTEER INITIATIVE DESIGNED TO HELP NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS MORE EFFECTIVELY RECRUIT, TRAIN, MANAGE AND RETAIN VOLUNTEERS.
