Goals & Strategy

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We envision that every child in Dauphin County has a safe, stable, and nurturing home dedicated to a promising future. We aim to appoint advocates to every child in the dependency court system.

We intend to fundraise to assure our ability to recruit, train, educate, and supervise enough dedicated volunteers to become agents of change for each of the abused and neglected youths of Dauphin County.
Upon recruitment and swearing-in of 10 more volunteers, we will need to hire another staff member to accommodate the training and supervision of even more volunteers.

With proper grant funding and successful fundraisers, we believe within the next year we will have reached the maximum number of volunteers able to be supervised by our current staff. We will begin the search for a new staff member upon reaching that maximum number.

In July of 2022 we hired a third staff member which allowed us to increase our volunteer number by 15. We have successfully sworn-in 5 new volunteers in August. Our Program Supervisor has 6 new volunteer applicants preparing for training and swearing-in. Of 15 new spots available for volunteers, 11 have been filled since July 2022.
We currently serve only 6% of the children who need a CASA appointed. Our goal is to increase that percentage.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
