The Families That Work Program (FTW) facilitates community-based partnerships with the College of Human Ecology (CHE) to improve the everyday lives of people with limited resources: adequate and quality nutrition financial resources for economic well-being quality of life at all stages of life The Working Family Tax Credit Marketing Program (WFTC) is a cooperative effort to inform eligible working families about the federal earned Income Credit (EIC) and the Minnesota Working Family Credit (WFC). The WFTC enhances the mission of the Minnesota Nutrition Education Programs - to assist participants in utilizing a variety of personal and community resources to adopt a healthy and self sufficient life style; thereby increasing control of a significant portion of their lives and contributing to a stronger, healthier community. Nutrition Education Programs incorporate and build upon existing, successful programs such as FSNEP (the Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program) and EFNEP (the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program). More than 25 years of University experience with nutrition education and research has demonstrated that families who learn how to control their diets and food budgets often begin taking control of other aspects of their lives. For many families, participating in the Nutrition Education Programs will provide an important first step to self-sufficiency.

E-Patron Bob Dylan (singer/songwriter; born May 24, 1941, Duluth, Minnesota) Bob Dylan has been an inspiration to singers and songwriters as well as to lovers of song everywhere. "He made us feel at a certain time that it was good to be smart, good to be observant, that it was good to have a social conscience," said Paul Simon, Dylan’s brilliant contemporary. Bruce Springsteen, who grew up listening to Dylan hits like "Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right" and "Like A Rolling Stone," spoke for an entire generation when he noted that "Elvis may have freed our body, but Dylan freed our soul." He was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth and grew up in the mining town of Hibbing, Minnesota. His family owned a hardware store. He formed a high school band called the Golden Chords, then struck out solo during his freshman year as he began to sing in coffee houses around the University of Minnesota. He changed his name as a tribute to his favorite poet, Dylan Thomas, and headed for Greenwich Village, New York, where the folk-rock revolution awaited just his sort of natural genius. He sought out and befriended the dying Woody Guthrie, who anointed the young troubadour with his blessing. Dylan was discovered in the Village by the visionary John Hammond of Columbia Records, who made possible his 1962 debut

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Studies of Education Reform: Parent and Community Involvement in Education - 1995 Minneapolis Public Schools Minneapolis, Minnesota Case Summary The Volunteer Services/Family Partnerships (VS/FP) program in Minneapolis Public Schools falls under the umbrella of curriculum and instruction. The VS/FP is seen as a support system for strengthening student achievement by providing human resources and materials for training parents/families and the community to be advocates for students. A unique feature of the Minneapolis Public Schools is its administrative and organizational structure. Recently, the Minneapolis school board entered into a contract with a local for-profit consulting firm to oversee the 44,000-student district. The contract holds the superintendent (the consulting firm's CEO) and other school officials financially accountable for a set of objectives. One of the highlights of this performance-based contract was to devise a strategy to increase family involvement in schools. "...this system forces administrators to examine the necessity, effectiveness, and efficiency of what they are doing."

Minnesota/Minneapolis Project Description: Building on Minnesota's long history of developing innovative programs to support the healthy growth and development of children and families, Governor Arne Carlson, Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton of Minneapolis, business leaders, and community organizations have developed a comprehensive plan to meet the goals recommended in Starting Points . Their initiative has three areas of focus: expanding the capacity of family service collaboratives that are being implemented statewide to provide community-based, comprehensive children's services; the development of research reports and technical assistance resources to help spread model family support and early education initiatives statewide; and the improvement of child care programs to better meet the needs of ethnic minority families. In its Starting Points project, Minnesota's Department of Children, Families and Learning will collaborate with Minneapolis Way to Grow, a public-private partnership organization that works in low-income neighborhoods in Minneapolis to ensure that pregnant women receive quality prenatal health care and to promote young children's healthy development and school readiness. The Way to Grow program model and its innovative financing mechanisms will be studied to determine if it should be adapted by family service collaboratives operating in fifty of the state's counties. Researchers from the University of Minnesota's School of Education will collect data on Way to Grow's effectiveness and the state will provide small grants to four community collaboratives to implement the

Project Homepage Project Contact Information ... Crisis Numbers Minnesota Rural Project for Women and Child Safety History of Issue History of the Project Collaborative Partners The child welfare system in the United States is in the midst of a major re-examination of how to best provide long-term safety to abused and neglected children. A variety of issues are driving this reform. Among the most prominent issues are reductions in public support of social welfare programs in general, as seen in welfare reform, and recognition that the child protection agencies are often overwhelmed by the large number of reports coming in each year. For example, the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System received 2.9 million reports of alleged child maltreatment from state child protection agencies in 1994. State agencies substantiated over 1 million of these reports. Overall, these data indicate a 14% increase in reports and a 27% increase in substantiated cases in the five years from 1990 to 1994 (NCCAN, 1996). Many child welfare reform efforts have been focused on increased collaboration with existing community-based services in the private non-profit sector and a shift away from problem-focused practice. Greater interaction with community-based programs has led some child welfare systems to re-examine their approaches to protecting children. Reforms such as alternative or differential response and neighborhood-based agencies are some examples.
