    📣I have big news to share: After an incredible 6 years, I am announcing my departure from Innovate Public Schools to consult, grow, and expand Poder Consulting Group with Miguel Perla. 📊💙🤝🏼 I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside some of the most values-driven, innovative, and action-oriented people on impactful education campaigns and research. ✨I have learned so much about grassroots organizing and how to pair research + data with organizing to drive forward people-powered campaigns that lead to policy change. The things I am most proud to have worked on alongside families & colleagues: 🏫 Partnering with families & LAUSD to develop a Family Guide to LAUSD’s Strategic Plan 📊 Writing & leading the Top Public Schools report that celebrates schools closing opportunity gaps for low-income Latinx and African American students 💰 Securing funding for high-impact #tutoring for students who need it the most ✅ Developing accessible & action-oriented data tools for thousands of families across Los Angeles & the Bay Area ➡️What’s next for me? After more than a decade of working as a researcher and evaluation consultant, I am joining and co-leading Poder Consulting Group to help social impact leaders and organizations use research and data to empower communities, measure and demonstrate their impact, and drive action. Whether you’re addressing #education equity gaps, empowering communities of color, improving access to #childcare and #housing, or working on any project aimed at using research and data to drive change for #communities closest to the issues, I’m your girl! Below are a few examples of the type of research & eval support we offer at Poder: ✏ Design and administer a survey of parents of young children to better understand their needs and challenges around #childcare  ✊ Engage community members in participatory research methods so that they can drive the research agenda that supports their campaign or project 📊 Analyze and make sense of large datasets to help an organization identify trends, gaps, and recommendations for policy 💡 Use mixed methods research tools (surveys, focus groups, etc.) to comprehensively understand, capture and evaluate the impact of a multi-stakeholder literacy campaign Feel free to drop me a message on LinkedIn or email me at jennyperla@poderconsultinggroup.com to discuss how we can work together on your research, evaluation, and data needs. Check us out at poderconsultinggroup.com. ✨✊🏼 Thank you to everyone who has already encouraged & supported me as I take this next big step. It’s very exciting to open myself up to all of the opportunities and collaboration to support and work with phenomenal leaders and organizations. In community, Jenny

  • 🎓 Peer to Peer Academy: Understanding the Historical Context of Gang Culture and Racialized Violence in Los Angeles Yesterday, Inner City Visions hosted an impactful training session as part of Office of Violence Prevention and CA Community Foundation Peer to Peer Academy, focusing on a critical yet often overlooked topic: Black and Brown relations in schools and communities. This session provided a unique opportunity for violence prevention and community peace workers to delve deep into the historical and current contexts of gang culture and racialized violence in Los Angeles. A heartfelt thank you to all the compañeras who traveled from South Central, Pomona, and other parts to engage in this important conversation. Your presence and perspectives were invaluable. A special shoutout to Alfred, whose years of experience in Florence-Firestone and beyond brought invaluable insight, and to CIW Robert—whose wisdom and maturity, despite his youth, assure us that the future of this work is in great hands. Together, we are making strides in fostering understanding and peace in our communities. ✊🏽 #CommunityPeace #ViolencePrevention #BlackAndBrownUnity #InnerCityVisions #GangCulture #PeerToPeerAcademy

    Over the past eight months, I have had the pleasure of working with these two amazing people – Dr. Ashley and Dr. Lipscomb – on the LA County DMH Advancing Racial Equity System Change: Leadership Transformation Training Series, training a couple hundred managers. I have cherished every minute of it. Their genuine approach to improving both individuals’ skills and the systems they work within has been truly inspiring. They keep it real, and their authenticity is much appreciated. Their presenting skills and ability to work well together are admirable. Looking forward to Phases 2 and 3. Cheers to their dedication and collaboration! 😎 💪

    This is a good step towards a more responsive and representative county government. Bravo 👏

    A ballot measure to increase the number of Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors from five to nine members, create an elected, not appointed, county executive officer and establish an ethics commission received its first vote of approval on Tuesday, July 23. https://lnkd.in/gYEX3TGN

    LA County supervisors back a ballot measure to add 4 seats, elect a county CEO
