The Center for Multicultural Cooperation provides quality youth service and leadership experiences that connect generations, cultures and communities.

CMC is instituting core outcomes to be measured across all programs. These �4 Levels of Impact� are creating a common language for our staff and students to understand the key outcomes tied to our work: 1) Youth Development Impact� at a minimum, every youth in our programs will learn and grown in a supportive, youth-development environment that increases their resiliency and develops their leadership skills. 2) Community Service Impact � the community service benefits inherent to the youth�s projects, whether this is the preservation of the story of World War II Veteran, the cultural sharing that comes from interviewing a Hmong refugee who is now a community leader, or the increased sense of community on a school campus that comes from producing an issue video. 3) Advocacy Impact � youth (and the media they create) contributing to coalitions and movements; by not just creating media, but increasing the community�s capacity to tell and distribute their own stories for impact (through things like training). 4) Leadership Pipeline Impact � The highest expression of our vision and values, these are the youth who emerge from the program as informed leaders who have the skills, knowledge and confidence to partner directly with adult leaders in meaningful and authentic ways. These youth and young adults are �at the table� making decisions on the things that affect their lives and ultimately increase the positive economic, health and educational outcomes not only for themselves, but for all youth in their community. Over 75% of CMC�s current staff are young adults who �grew up� in our programs, and are now in a leadership role continuing this important work.
