Description Many best-practiced communities have implemented community web-based dashboards to provide a "read-out" of the health and wellness metrics of the community.
DMCC's website is a push technology and not so much as social, collaborative virtual teaming site.
Olmsted County, Mayo, OMG (and others) have just completed a community health study and published a report.
We should go further and have a plan to be more agile and responsive in changing statistics by implementing a dashboard.

From the perspectives and experiences of many people, particularly the young adults who had the opportunity to work there as interns, this has been a very successful year – "I learned new skills and how to work as a team;" "motivated and succeeding and, for the first time, seeing something worth working hard at." As a result, the program will be expanded this next year.

Description The club provides an anchor and sense of belonging to a group of students who often felt adrift and disconnected from school. But the weekly meetings are only one element of the club, which tries to build a network of support and accountability around the students.
The club has its own rules. To be in Sister Save Sister, each student must find a mentor among the JM staff. Students are to be accountable not only to themselves but to each other. If a sister goes astray, set her right. If a sister is roaming the hallway when she should be in class, tell her where she ought to be.
