PEOPLE AROUND HERE LIVE OUR BELIEFS IN HOW WE TREAT
OUR FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT…
We Believe:

Good health comes from:
• fresh air
• decent housing
• pleasant compassionate neighborhoods
• clean water
• great schools
• thriving kids and families
• safe nutritious food
• living wage jobs
• quality, affordable healthcare

We Believe our choices matter.

We Believe health comes from the way we live, work, and play.
WHAT IS THURSTON THRIVES?
Thurston Thrives is bringing together
community partners around the work
we share to honor those who make
this a healthy and safe place and to
align efforts to make an even bigger
difference by creating a
“Collective Impact”.
WHAT MAKES A STRONG COLLECTIVE IMPACT?
Five Conditions of Collective Impact
Common Agenda
All participants have a shared vision for change
Shared Measurement
Collecting data and measuring results consistently to
hold each other accountable ensures efforts remain
aligned
Mutually Reinforcing
Activities
Activities must be differentiated while still being
coordinated with a plan of action
Continuous Communication
Consistent and open communication is needed to
build trust, assure mutual objectives and motivation
Backbone Support
Creating and managing Collective Impact requires
one organization with staff and a specific set of
skills to serve as the backbone for the entire
initiative and coordinate participating partners
“Channeling Change: Making Collective Impact Work” 2012 Stanford Social Innovation Review
