Twelve Years....Twelve Thousand Door Knocks

We are called to share leadership and take

action with you and the amazing array of

residents, workers and teams displayed on

this page. As a community, we have been

given the gift of demonstrating for others

that a mixed income, mixed culture

community is the best option and that

with intentionality, compassion and

practice, it can and does work.

After 12 years of innovating and 12,000 door knocks these past two years,

we are clear that the only way to move forward with positive change is to

ensure that we are responding to authentic demand of those who live and

work here. We must resist the temptation to “supply” ideas and solutions

from the outside, without first ensuring their grounding at home. Please hold

us accountable to this practice.

Ronnie will be leading the entire organization and network as we seek to

go deeper in Silver Spring and provide a signature Family Asset Building

Network in Long Branch. Jayne and Frankie will be working with you to

determine when and how our lessons can be helpful in other places outside

of Silver Spring. You are warmly invited to join the network and bring your

gifts to the table!

IMPACT Silver Spring is a community-based nonprofit devoted to creating the environments and the capacity needed to build and sustain thriving,

multicultural communities.

Birthed in 1999 after Silver Spring experienced a decade of extreme and rapid demographic change, IMPACT has built a diverse network of over 3,000

community residents who actively cross lines of race, culture and class to spark and sustain community change.

In partnership with this resident-based network, we develop practical tools and strategies for empowering diverse residents and sparking collaborative action within specific community contexts. To date, these contexts include:

Public Schools • Affordable Housing • Community Retail CentersYouth Engagement • Social Services

Executive SummaryOur Journey: In 1999, we took on the job of helping Silver Spring manage huge demographic change. Over these twelve years, we

• Supported 3,000 extremely diverse residents in developing new tools for community change.• Demonstrated in hundreds of small circles that everyone, despite economic and social challenges, has

unique gifts to contribute.• Supported the County, the school system, retail owners and housing managers in changing the way they

serve residents. • Knocked on 12,000 doors to connect residents in crisis to each other and to community institutions.

Our Assessment: After all of the data and stories we collected, we conclude the following:

• The majority of residents live isolated lives and are not offering their best potential to our community.• The majority of community institutions are not connected to and not providing services directly responsive

to these residents.• When engaged and supported, most residents and institutions are eager to learn how to connect and share

power with each other.• Lower income families have many assets from which to create options and opportunities for themselves

and others.

Call for Action: We call upon the entire community to pursue three core strategies:

• Cultivate resident connection and voice in neighborhoods as the guiding force for change in government and business.

• Invest in building the assets of families, especially those overcoming challenging circumstances.• Engage small businesses and community-based institutions as key partners in achieving neighborhood strength.

Our Offer: We will provide two “containers” for continued development and practice of these core strategies:

• Development of the IMPACT Montgomery Institute which supports experiential learning in other neighborhoods in four distinct areas:

• Building Neighborhood Networks• Building and Sharing Power• Sparking Social Innovation• Sparking Institutional Reform

• Creation of a signature Family Asset Building Network in the Long Branch Neighborhood.

O U R F I N D I N G : After twelve years and twelve thousand door knocks, it is clear that people really do care about their neighbor-hoods and when asked in the right way, are eager to come together to support each other and to contributetheir ideas for a better community.

O U R A P P R OA C H : • Pick a topic or context of immediate interest to some, like the achievement gap.• Provide an opportunity for people to learn/share within this context.• Be creative, persistent and culturally aware in how you invite them.• Provide a fun, welcoming and participatory environment.• Ensure everyone contributes and takes away something of value.• Create follow up opportunities for continued, reciprocal exchange.

Here are some of our examples, both recent and in the past:

Parents of Color Involved in SchoolsIn 2004, we went door to door asking parents of color and immigrant backgrounds if they knew aboutthe achievement gap in our schools. By 2009, over 350 parents from three primary backgrounds –Latino, East African and African American – had come together for seven week sessions called the Parent Training Institute in 7 different schools. Over 77% reported increased ability to support theirchild’s education and 55% demonstrated improved communications with school staff. This network ofdiverse parents went on to create a nine month parent leadership program that partners immigrantparents with teachers for mutual learning and to birth a model for changing the internal culture oflocal schools currently led and dominated by white parents.

At one of the Parent graduations, Beletu Baruda, a shy Ethiopian mother of two explained, almost in tears,what a struggle it is for parents like herself who do not speak English. She explained that the most difficult

reality for an immigrant parent is to know you cannot help your children when they need you; “Our kids havestopped asking or looking up to us because they know we are not equipped to help them.” She shared that the

Parent Training Institute has been like a glimmer of hope illuminating a path to follow even if the journey ahead still looks long and difficult.

Renters Form Teams to Improve ApartmentsIn 2007, we knocked on doors to ask renters, who comprise 60% of Silver Spring, to ask: who has a

simple idea for how to make life better in your apartment community? We spent the nextthree years supporting 42 teams in 28 different properties, helping them to accomplish

concrete community improvement projects like sponsoring a regular clothing swap meet, starting a children’s art club or seeking better lighting for the parking lot. This new network of renters continues to thrive and has been tapped into by many groupsand institutions seeking renter involvement.

For fourteen years, Emie, originally from Haiti, had been quietly helping fellowresidents in the Northwest Park Apartment community as they manage theirnew lives in the U.S. Through her participation in Neighborhood IMPACT, Emiekicked off a new residents association and convinced the new school principalto take regular walks in her community to connect with neighbors.

BuildingNeighborhoodNetworks

“Door knocking with the IMPACT Network was an amazing experience and helped build myconfidence in having genuine conversations with community members, across our lines of difference.”

Rachel Wick • Director of Policy, Planning and Special Projects • Consumer Health Foundation

Families in Crisis Forming Circles of MutualSupport and Jobs SkillsWhen the economic crisis hit in 2009, we recruited over 200 volunteer door

knockers from 35 different countries of origin to knock on over 12,000doors in three lower income zip codes within Wheaton, Gaithersburg and Long Branch, all in partnership with local government. We asked: doyou need emergency services? Can you help support your neighbors?Since the start of the Neighbors Campaign, over 4,000 residents of allbackgrounds answered yes to the question about neighbor supportand participated in hundreds of neighbor nights and neighbor circlesheld in these communities, as a follow up to the initial door knock. Each

week, you will find a circle of 30 to 40 residents in each neighborhoodmeeting over dinner and providing each other with tangible exchanges

of support ranging from leads on possible jobs, offers to provide childcareand transportation and tips on accessing a range of formal/informal services.

Youth and Parents Find Common Ground on Athletic FieldWe recently took on operation of a nonprofit formed to provide athletic opportunities to low income youth. After running the program for just sixmonths, we have already witnessed the convening power of sports to leverage greater parent involvement and to build new understanding across deep cultural divides among youth, parents and community workers.

When an IMPACT team knocked on Alpha Serry’s door last year in the Oakfield Apartments in Wheaton, he was 19 years old, not in school andstruggling with a long list of barriers faced by many recent immigrants. Hecame to the US from Sierra Leone when he was 17. He readily jumped in asa volunteer door knocker for the Neighbors Campaign and came everyweek to the “Tuesday’s Together” gathering in Wheaton. After hearing hisLatino neighbors ask time and time again for support in learning English,he volunteered to organize and teach an ESOL circle (see picture left). TheESOL circle has been meeting weekly now for over 11 months and in themeantime, Alpha secured his GED, a job at Macy’s and is enrolled in a Network Engineer Course. Despite a busy schedule, he still shows up everyweek to enjoy dinner with his neighbors and to teach the ESOL class

BuildingandSharingPowerO U R F I N D I N G :Many of us operate from a place of fear….the fear of limited power or the fear of losing our power. This fear gets in the way of lots of positive action, individually and collectively. It can keep residents from succeedingeconomically and can prevent neighborhoods from flourishing.

O U R A P P R OA C H :We believe that power is infinite. Our primary contribution over the last twelve years has been creating opportunities for people from all walks of life to find their kernels of power and experiment with using andsharing these kernels for personal, economic and civic gain. Again, the formula is simple:

• Convene a small group around a common quest.• Build trust among the group.• Identify each person’s unique power.• Support each other in using personal power to make progress.

Here are some of our examples, both recent and in the past:

Network Guides Spark New Economic Empowerment Over the last year, an extremely diverse group of 12 residents in LongBranch and Wheaton committed to a common goal of expanding anddeepening the IMPACT network into their neighborhoods to supportthose who are unemployed or underemployed. For example, in LongBranch, Alicia Lopez convenes a weekly gathering of ten women who aremaking crafts to sell in local markets this spring and summer to generatemore household income. In Wheaton, Nathalie Garcia (pictured right) organizeda bi-weekly ESOL class in her apartment building which is regularly attended by 30Latino residents eager to learn English and secure better jobs.

Unemployed Residents Provide Real Value in Real TimeOur newest initiative is a circle of 16 residents from the Wheaton area, all of whom are currently unemployed or underemployed and seek a more stable job. In weekly meetings for six months, they are building supportiverelationships with each other, establishing a clear plan of action for skill development and holding each otheraccountable in pursuing this plan. They are also active members in the IMPACT network and build new confidenceand relationships as they participate in steps to improve our County’s workforce support system.

Teacher Home Visits Lead to Improved Educational AchievementFor nine months in 2007, a team of diverse immigrant parents interviewed over 60 teachers, parents and students askingthem the simple question: what constitutes a successful multicultural teacher? Their findings, captured in a report called SilverSpring Loves Teachers, highlighted the importance of a genuine relationship between teachers and families. The report calledfor a pilot project to test out the value of teachers visiting the homes of their students. Piney Branch Elementary School inTakoma Park answered the call and with private funds raised by IMPACT, a team of teachers received small stipends to pay fortheir time in visiting the homes. The project continues and early results demonstrate a clear connection between visiting inthe home and performance in school.

“I visited a student in my class that won the library media award. I learned things about him that I didn’t already know – like he’d only been inthis country for a year, but is not in ESOL. I knew that he moved, but I didn’t know he didn’t speak a word of English a year ago. It was hisbrother’s 16th birthday, so the grandmom was there with a cake. I told her that I could’ve come another day and she said, ‘No, we wanted youhere for the birthday.’ I couldn’t believe how welcoming the family was”.

Kristen Dunlap, third grade teacher at Piney Branch Elementary School

Parents and Teachers Empower Each Other in the ClassroomEach year, we support a team of 15 immigrant parents who pair up with teachers for six months to help run an after school literacy program. The parents feel more confident being in the schools and some go on to become para-educators. The teachers gain greater skill and awareness in how to teach immigrant children.

“The program has given me motivation, self-confidence, and the opportunity to assist teachers and students in the MCPS system. Ithas been an experience of a lifetime to work with the studentson their daily academic routine...I always feel energized andeager for the next assignment.”

Janice served as a Parent Educator at Glen Haven Elementary

Property Managers Learn New Ways to Engage TenantsWe actively work to engage property managers as partners each time we go into anew building to knock on doors and we hold regular property manager luncheons ineach neighborhood to give these community workers a place to re-group and feelsupported. A recent success story is in Essex House, a 120 unit high rise on Maple Avenue in Takoma Park, where we facilitated three months of intensive communitybuilding sessions and carefully created openings for the property manager to participateand re-establish trust.

The Essex House StoryCherwanda, Jacqui, Loretta and Sharon are a part of a larger group of resident leaders at the Essex House Apartments inTakoma Park. Last spring when we met them, they were angry and concerned about how their building was being managed.We encouraged them to reach out to their neighbors and share their stories about life in the building. These efforts helpedshape a new quality of life covenant between residents and management. Both groups are now working together to makekey changes in their community.

O U R F I N D I N GA fundamental truth is that the best ideas and capacity for neighborhood change are held by the residentswho live in the neighborhood. But after years and layers of professional and government intervention, residentsoften do not feel invited or empowered or motivated to pursue their passions and plans.

O U R A P P R OA C HAlongside a strategy to encourage personal power, IMPACT has sought to issue the “public invitation” for innovation and provide practical vehicles for pursuing action projects, outside a pre-determined and specificsocial agenda.

After many trials and errors, we settled on a basic formula for forming small action teams to pursue small actions. We believe small actions that are well connected to each other represent the most powerful engine for deep systemic change. As set forth in our Collective Action Team Booklet, we recommend five basic steps:

1. Find a few others who you like and who share your vision.2. Strive for diverse backgrounds and perspectives on the team.3. Spend time building trust and shaping a new shared vision.4. Be as specific as you can in developing a plan and revisit it often.5. Move quickly into action with small steps, reflecting and learning each time.

Over a twelve year period, we have sparked hundreds of social innovation projects, some of which were initiated by the 350 diverse residents who participated in our 16 long term leadershipdevelopment groups and some of which bubbled up inside our own organizational frame. See apartial list of these initiatives, below and on the next page.

Social Innovation Moments Sparked by IMPACT • Putting the issue of race on the senior leadership table within MCPS,

eventually leading to national recognition for results in closing the gap.

• Successfully recruiting and testing out Study Circle tool/team, sparkingMCPS to scale it up over ten year period.

• Two year pilot focused on increasing capacity of small and ethnic-basednonprofits, leading to creation of Nonprofit Montgomery and creation of the Office of Community Partnership inside Montgomery County.

• Formation of La Collective to seek shared office space for communityorganizations, sparking birth of new nonprofit, Nonprofit Village, Inc. and 10,000 square feet in new shared nonprofit space.

• Convening six different organizations for one year to develop collectivevision for youth empowerment in Silver Spring.

• Supporting middle class transportation activists in building bridgesto lower income renters who are the predominate users of public transportation.

• Creation of the Neighbors Campaign, an unprecedented “overnight”partnership between government, service providers, philanthropy andneighborhood organizers in response to the economic crisis.

“My participation in Impact’s Leadership Program allowed me to explore solutions tosome of our local challenges with a true cross section of Montgomery County residents. The discussions we shared have been helpful to me in my work on the County Council, where we are working to address many of the same ongoing issues.”

Nancy Navarro, Montgomery County Councilmember, District Four

“IMPACT's Parent Network was the catalyst for a more genuine conversation and action around the impact of race within MCPS, including the initiation and evolution of our

Study Circles Program.”Dr. Frieda K. Lacey • Deputy Superintendent of Schools Montgomery County Public Schools

Mita and her family moved into their apartment complex as recentimmigrants from Bangladesh, not knowing anyone. When challenged to form a team in her community, she did notknow where to begin. With incredible courage, shestood in the lobby one evening with a flyer invitingothers to attend an informal pot luck dinner inher unit the following week. The end result isthat Mita formed a team, discovered theyshared the dream of homeownership andsponsored a workshop on financial literacyfor all of the residents in her building and along Sligo Avenue in downtownSilver Spring.

O U R F I N D I N G :Silver Spring and Montgomery County enjoy progressive public policies and programs, yet it is clear that manyresidents continue to suffer from deep inequities and barriers to a quality life. IMPACT believes that the key to systemic change in a community like Montgomery County is shifting the way power is shared within localinstitutions, at both the decision making level and with respect to the daily operating culture.

O U R A P P R OA C H :Over our twelve year history, we have responded to and explored over fifty different resident-generated callsfor institutional reform. Two of these opportunities developed into serious, intentional and on-going reform efforts, each of which is still underway. We see five common components in each of these initiatives:

• Engaged and empowered residents with a vision for change.• Institutional leaders who genuinely acknowledge the need for change. • On-going practices for building relationships and trust across differences.• Shared commitment to taking action and “learning as you go.” • On-going practices for using conflict to create new alternatives .

We are excited to share a brief summary of these reform efforts and welcome the opportunity to providegreater information upon request.

“Since I joined the Piney Branch ES Action Team two years ago, I’ve found myself doing things and speaking out in ways that I never would have imagined. It has empowered me, and opened up a world of parent/community leadership that I did not know was available to me.”

Vineda Myers, Resident of Park Ritchie ApartmentsPTA Blair Cluster Representative – 2010-2011 School Year - Piney Branch Elementary School

“As a member of the Piney Branch ES Action Team, I now know the huge impact of taking steps outside the school building and spending time with parents and students in the many apartment buildings surrounding our school building.”

Listening to and Learning from Alicia and VictoriaAlicia, 42 and a mother of five, arrived to the United States with a third grade education 12 years ago after hurricanes in Honduras destroyed her home. She’s lived in the same apartment in Silver Spring since arrivingand recently lost her low wage job in a Dining Hall at the University of Maryland. Alicia’s dream is to transformher small apartment-based catering operation into a thriving business with reliable revenue. She’s an activeparticipant in various community and ESOL programs, but still struggles with limited English and technologyskills and the lack of the kind of network needed to build a business and support her children’s educational path.

Victoria, 38 and a mother of four, moved to Silver Spring from El Salvador when she was 18. She is fully bi-lingualafter attending three years at Blair, but dropped out to get married and never received her GED. Now, as amother, she is determined to provide a better educational path for her children and to be a role model for themas an engaged parent and active community leader. She repeatedly shows up at PTA meetings and other community gatherings, but has not found a place where she can contribute and feel valued. Her husband owns a small construction company and their house provides a place of stability to a large extended family.

Alicia and Victoria, who have lived near each other for years, recently met at an IMPACT neighbor circle anddiscovered that despite their differences, they are on a similar quest to develop their personal assets and that oftheir families. The magic ingredient to their relationship is that each feels valued and needed by the other in along list of ways, both practical and emotional. In February 2011, they teamed up with IMPACT to birth a Home-BasedBusiness Circle of 12 non-English speaking women that meets weekly and facilitates hard-skill developmentalongside the creation of a support and accountability practice for one another. Victoria keeps Alicia focusedon her English and Alicia offers guidance for Victoria as she rediscovers and hones her own entrepreneurial spirit.

Our Response: A Family Asset Building Network in Long BranchIMPACT met hundreds of amazing residents like Alicia and Victoria during 12,000 door knocks in three targetedcommunities these past two years. Many of these new friends and neighbors are unemployed and have clearaspirations for a better economic path. We devoted intentional time this past January to reflect on these storiesand the power of our core strategies to find, spark and support development of this untapped potential. We decided that there is authentic demand for IMPACT and our network to devote more effort to creating lastingneighborhood environments that stimulate and support resident-based resources. Our first signature effort willbe based in the Long Branch area of Silver Spring, where we have been active from the beginning.

Listening to and Learning from Uma, Thom and RosaUma Ahluwalia, 44, is the Director of Health and Human Services for Montgomery County , an agency of 1,300 employeesand a $240 million budget. Prior to this role, she served in similar public official roles in Washington D.C., Prince George’sCounty, Maryland and Washington State. In the fall of 2008, she faced the challenge of a shrinking budget and growingnumbers of families in crisis, many of whom are isolated from government services and each other. In a bold move, sheproposed the creation of three neighborhood based service centers and publicly asked for help in building a new strategyfor engaging and empowering these families in this time of need.

Thom Harr, 64, is the Executive Director of Family Services, Inc, a large provider of early childhood, mental health, andsocial services located in Gaithersburg and serving the greater Montgomery County for over 100 years. Prior to steppinginto this role, Thom served in several senior social positions in Montgomery County. When Uma Ahluwalia called him in Fall 2008 to ask him to house one of the proposed Neighborhood Service Centers, he enthusiastically agreed andjumped on as a full co-partner because he is committed to any undertaking that improves services to the community.

Rosa Sanchez, 38, is an active member of the IMPACT Network , serving as a parent facilitator, an apartment communityorganizer and a key voice in shaping IMPACT’s engagement strategies. Having immigrated to the United States from ElSalvador at the age of 13, she is a mother of four, grandmother of three and has lived in the same apartment complex inTakoma Park for 14 years. When IMPACT called her in Winter 2009 to consider serving in a newly established role called“Community Connector” to help staff the Neighborhood Service Centers, she readily agreed.

Uma, Thom and Rosa, along with many others, joined forces two years ago to help birth the Neighborhood OpportunityNetwork, a multi-sector, multi-year initiative designed to increase access to services and to spark new networks of mutual support in three targeted neighborhoods in Montgomery County. IMPACT has served as the catalytic force and the on-the-ground organizer for this initiative. See page 12 for a more detailed description.

Our Response: IMPACT Montgomery InstituteWith the tremendous success of the Neighbors Opportunity Network has come a surge in demand for IMPACT’s assistancefrom other institutional partners and organizations seeking to more effectively engage and respond to the needs of the county’s increasingly diverse community beyond Silver Spring. Moreover, as our networks among neighborhoodresidents have expanded, we continue to encounter heightened demand for economic empowerment solutions thatgo beyond emergency services. As mentioned on the opposite page, we devoted intentional time this past January reflecting on our leading role in the Neighborhood Opportunity Network and options for how to provide assistance in aless staff intensive way. After careful thought, we decided to use this moment to birth a new initiative designed to teachand train other community builders, as opposed to serving as the primary community builders. We remain committedto the Neighborhood Opportunity Network, but will transition our role in the coming year to one more focused onstrategic advice and experiential learning. As new resources are identified, we will consider serving in a similar role toother communities and institutions within Montgomery County.

Special Invitation for Private InvestmentOver the last twelve years, we have raised nearly $6,000,000 in funding to support this very intentional social capital experiment in Silver Spring. Given that we offered the marketplace a product that is outside a traditional direct service platform and is largelyuntested, we are proud of this accomplishment. We acted with great care and responsibility in both the use and accounting and reporting of outcomes from these funds. As you can see from the charts above, most of the funding flowed from both the public andprivate foundation sectors. We are especially grateful to these partners, the names of which are listed in the pages that follow, for taking the risk and for rolling up their sleeves alongside of us.

Going forward, it is very clear that our ability to apply these lessons in a deeper and more systemic approach requires a new and different funding platform, in addition to continued support from our faithful partners.

We invite three new types of investors to consider making a commitment:

Social Venture Capital InvestorsThree year commitment of $10,000 per year for corporate partners and $5,000 per year for individuals. The goal of these funds is to provide a stable source of general operating funds upon which to build a core infrastructure of technology, research, evaluation and sustainability.

Innovation Fund PartnersOne year commitment of $2,000 and bi-annual design meetings. The goal of these dollars is to create a “risk fund” that supports actionresearch in building out new practices and strategies within the Family Asset Building Network.

Stipend Fund PartnersOne time commitment of either $600 (quarter year) or $1,200 (half year) or $2,400 (full year) to pay stipends to Network Members whofill specific roles in growing and sustaining each of our neighborhood networks.
