In our partnership, we often talk about the importance of creating a culture of continuous improvement, an ongoing effort to improve services and supports for children and families to improve a community-level outcome. These efforts seek incremental improvement over time.

In this episode, we sit down with the leadership team at the Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha – largest provider of after-school activities, delinquency and gang prevention programs, youth employment opportunities, arts programs, and sports/recreation programs – as they reflect on their experience in participating in BOF’s Results Count Cohort and how it has helped to shape the amazing work they are engaged in.

This cohort has given us the courage to be open to change and not just do things the way we’ve always done them.
