Youth Asset Mapping in Toronto How are youth doing? and What is available for youth?

Background
! About 70 funders, government, agencies, grassroots and youth came together at an event in June of 2012 for the Youth Innovation Lab.
! The goal was to engage people who want “improved outcomes for young people in Toronto” to work on Collective Impact together (essentially getting all of the stakeholders involved in a solution to get better results)
! A core team was developed that was smaller than the original 70 to continue to move the process forward. Out of that a mapping committee formed of a couple of people.
! And here I am speaking with you.

Our Problem
Youth, funders, government, parents, and the social sector don’t know…
! what is available neighbourhood by neighbourhood
! what we, as a youth serving sector, look like
! how youth in Toronto, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, are doing
![Page 4: Chris Penrose: Youth Asset Mapping (Open Data Day 2013 – Toronto)](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051609/545d9f0bb0af9fec168b4607/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Our Questions
! How are youth doing in Toronto?
! What is available for youth in Toronto?

Proposal for Mapping
! 1) assemble framework to collect mapping and data into
! 2) call out for all youth related mapping work
! 3) academic and design filter to look at how to layer the information
! 4) mapping activity with youth to collect missing info
![Page 6: Chris Penrose: Youth Asset Mapping (Open Data Day 2013 – Toronto)](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051609/545d9f0bb0af9fec168b4607/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Our Filters
Looking at maps and data for three purposes:
! 1) Content: it has information that is a part of the answer to one, or both, of our questions
! 2) Format: the representation of the info offers interesting possibilities on how we can approach representing the data
! 3) Instructive: they did something really well or really poorly that guides how we need to build this going forward

1) assemble framework to collect mapping into
What we have:
! Started with a Word doc collecting screen shots, basic descriptions, contact info and web addresses
! Added an Excel sheet that collates the ‘maps’ through a variety of questions that allow us to search by categories and keep it organized
! Google docs that are shared between about 10 or so people connected to this effort
What we are thinking:
! Set up a blog that puts all of this information out there for the broader collective and to the world for unexpected connections and making it open
![Page 21: Chris Penrose: Youth Asset Mapping (Open Data Day 2013 – Toronto)](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051609/545d9f0bb0af9fec168b4607/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2) call out for all youth related mapping work
! A week or so away from this step.
![Page 22: Chris Penrose: Youth Asset Mapping (Open Data Day 2013 – Toronto)](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051609/545d9f0bb0af9fec168b4607/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3) academic and design minds to partners with youth and youth serving sector people to look at how complete the info is and how to layer the information to give us a picture
! Why I am here today.
! Have been exploring connections such as OCAD, City of Toronto, and others that can support this work and/or are already doing this work.
![Page 23: Chris Penrose: Youth Asset Mapping (Open Data Day 2013 – Toronto)](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051609/545d9f0bb0af9fec168b4607/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
! 4) mapping activity with youth to collect missing info
! No clear plan or questions yet for this until we know what we are missing.
! We have discovered a number of cool approaches though (decoders) and possible questions (e.g. plazas)
![Page 24: Chris Penrose: Youth Asset Mapping (Open Data Day 2013 – Toronto)](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051609/545d9f0bb0af9fec168b4607/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Discovery so far…
! The work of collecting information has revealed that:
! People are doing this work in silent silos…and there are a lot of these silos.
! People are reinventing what has been started numerous times before
! People are not crossing boundaries of sector enough
! People are not planning how this work can be innovative, interactive and sustained
