ANNUAL REPORT

CLEVELANDLEADERSHIP CENTER

Dear Friends,

It was a year full of impact at the Cleveland Leadership Center as we kicked off our 10th anniversary. We welcomed almost 700 individuals as participants in our core programs:

The Leadership Center also provided active ongoing engagement opportunities for over 1,000 alumni and community members. For example, CLC worked to create positive change through the “Leading for Change” dialogues – frank conversations on race and diversity and the media’s role in advancing community change.

Accelerate 2016: Citizens Make Change gave voice to individuals with great ideas to improve our community. Even as the 2016 projects were launched, the finalists from 2015 continued to build out their initiatives.

By convening alumni and community members around important topics, we highlighted a number of critical community issues, such as discussing the impact of human trafficking locally, assisting the City of Cleveland in implementing portions of the federal Consent Decree concerning policing, educating students about the electoral process and the importance of voting, and recruiting mentors and life coaches for Teach For America teachers.

As we look ahead, we remain focused on providing innovative, impactful leadership development and civic engagement opportunities to help leaders of all stages of life move our community forward.

We look forward to the next year – and next decade – of advancing Northeast Ohio alongside you.

Evaluation & ImpactThe Cleveland Leadership Center evaluates the impact of its programs

on participants by having them rate their knowledge, attitude and skills at the end of their program compared to before the program.

“I know about Cleveland’s civic

assets, issues, and stakeholders.”

Illustrated below are the percentage of participants who agreed or strongly agreed with the corresponding statements before (gray bars) and after the program (color bars). All programs showed double-digit percentage point increases across all sixteen outcomes.

“I am able to think critically about

how relationships between civic assets, issues

and stakeholders impact the health

of the community.”

“I am able to use information about

the community to envision

Cleveland’s future.”

Accelerate 2016: Citizens Make Change

Accelerate is a pitch competition for individuals to share and act on a personal vision to improve our community.

Many of the Accelerate 2015 presenters are still making great strides on their ideas as well. To learn more about the presenters from both years, visit www.cleveleads.org/accelerateNEO.

Ben ColasGrand Prize Winner

Families Building Future Leaders Ben’s KinderKits engage parents in preparing their preschool children for academic success through a toolbox of products and ideas that

help them learn basic skills.

One of the CMSD schools that piloted the kits administered a pre- and post-test of the targeted

skills: letter recognition, number recognition, shape recognition, counting and name writing.

Overall, 91% showed an increase in skills.

In his own classroom, Ben introduced addition and sounding out consonant-vowel-consonant

words to his class in September, and subtraction in October; last year his students were not ready

for these skills until spring

Jessica Leary AllenFinalist

MotherBoard: Connecting Opt-InMoms with Projects that Matter

After Accelerate 2016, Jessica’s idea to connect moms who want to opt-in or scale back in their

careers with employers went into full launch mode forming a small but mighty startup team,

building a business plan, launching a blog, securing additional funding, and developing a platform and website. Above and beyond the pitch, MotherBoard has been changing

the narrative when it comes to working motherhood, eliminating the stereotype of the

frazzled mom and replacing it with a community of women who can and do make work and life

balance. The website will beta test in 2017.

Pam TurosFinalist

Good Cause CLE: A Creative Partnerin Digital Marketing

The Good Cause website, designed to help good causes share their message and connect them

with resources to broaden their reach, launched in June 2016. The site provides ways for visitors to support nonprofits, and inspires them to get

involved.

By fall 2016, the site had over 6,200 visits, with traffic consistently doubling each month. It has

featured more than 100 organizations, including content and publicity for three successful

crowd-funding campaigns. Pam collaborated with Literary Cleveland – an Accelerate 2015 presenter – to host storytelling workshops.

Ali Lukacsy-LoveFinalist

Bus Stop Moves: Exercise While You Wait

Bus Stop Moves expanded throughout Cleveland after Ali pitched her idea to help transit riders be

active while they wait for a bus.

RTA brought the printing and installation of the Bus Stop Moves wraps in-house, greatly reducing costs. By October 2016, wraps had been installed in 13 shelters in six Cleveland

neighborhoods, with 20 more planned by mid-2017. Bus Stop Moves also received a grant to

expand the project in North Collinwood in 2017.

Bus Stop Moves will be featured in the 2017 City of Cleveland’s free fitness programs brochure.

The Atlantic CityLab also noted the project in an article on how cities are rethinking bus shelters.

Ramon Rivas IIIFinalist

Cleveland as a Comedy Hub

Comedy artists from all over the country — who had previously appeared on Conan, Comedy Central’s The Half Hour, Last Comic Standing, Comedy Bang Bang and more — converged in Cleveland for the

Accidental Comedy Fest, August 26-28, 2016. Ramon pitched the festival at Accelerate as way to raise Cleveland’s national profile as a comedy destination. Ramon also was selected as one of 17 rising

comedians to get a half-hour show on Comedy Central, which aired on August 26, 2016.
