Traditionally, non-profits and other sectors have operated in isolation of one another. But complex large scale problems require a coordinated, structured and collaborative approach. Consequent-ly, the current state of affairs for non-profits is the following:
• Lack funding and/or competing for the same dollars
• Lack capacity resources
• Limited community outreach
• Lack of communication with each other
• Lack of evidenced based measurable results
• Lack integration to promote large scale outcomes
Once again, Southern States Scholars’ mission is to coordinate diverse organizations coming to-gether to solve complex social problems. The vision is to address the unique holistic education and workforce development challenges of underserved youth in the southeastern region of the United States (and beyond) by building collective impact groups.
