Neighborhoods who are part of the MyCom Network were selected through an application process. Applications that were selected demonstrated a strong partnership base, ability to bring different stakeholders to the table, and commitment to engaging youth voice.
Neighborhoods began their work through a community planning process engaging youth, community residents, out-of-school time providers, schools, businesses and government to create a Community Youth Development Plan. Implementation of the plan, evaluation, and the building of community partnerships is a continued process.
The MyCom Network currently includes 19 neighborhoods with 13 in the City of Cleveland and 6 in the surrounding suburbs with a total of over 200 network partners.
Neighborhoods meet on a regular basis to share information and push forward the work of their neighborhood plan.
