Save The Date — CPI Kickoff!
 High-quality afterschool experiences play an important role in supporting Minneapolis youth to recognize and achieve their greatest potential. That’s why we are committed to supporting a continuous program improvement (CPI) cycle using M3 (Making Meaning with Multiple Data Sets). Participation in the CPI Cycle can help your organization use data to strengthen and improve your program – leading to better outcomes and experiences for youth.
Whether you’re new to M3 or a veteran, all are welcome to the CPI Kick-Off to learn 1) What is CPI and M3?; 2) How should we prepare for the M3 Huddle?; and 3) Advice from afterschool programs and previous M3 Huddle participants. Have questions about the CPI Kick-Off? Contact Rachel Oberg-Hauser, Project Director at the Minneapolis Youth Coordinating Board (Rachel.oberg-hauser@minneapolismn.gov | 612-672-2131)
