Case Studies
California’s First 5 Northwest Region
SEI developed a first-ever Regional Impact Report to show the effect that First 5 Children and Families Commissions have had within the ten-county Northwest Region of California, conducted a comprehensive assessment of each county’s evaluation systems, and provided customized technical assistance to each First 5 Commission to enhance their evaluation systems.
California Family Resource Association
SEI guided the planning of a new statewide association for California’s statewide network of family resource centers and family support programs that now connects the field of family support throughout the state, and assisted with the launch of the association once the organizational plan was completed.
Sustainability Planning
Since 2005, we have assisted 45 diverse nonprofit organizations, public agencies and multi-agency collaborations in systematic planning for long-term sustainability. One such project was conducted for First 5 Santa Barbara County. This project posed the unique challenge of facilitating a comprehensive sustainability planning process with five different countywide collaborations simultaneously.
