What This Milestone is About:
As your work matures, it’s critical to think beyond the next project. This milestone is about strengthening what’s working, sustaining momentum, and spreading your approach to other areas of the community. You’ll refine your team’s structure, embed your work into existing systems, and explore ways to expand your impact, without burning out or losing focus.
Why This Milestone Matters:
Long-term change requires staying power. This milestone helps your team think about what it takes to sustain progress; not just in funding, but in people, systems, and culture. It supports your team in sharing success stories, building ownership across sectors, and planning for the next phase of growth and learning.

Develop a plan for sustaining your work, considering funding, partnerships, ongoing team leadership, staffing, and integration into local systems. - Scaling and Adaptation Strategy
Identify opportunities to replicate, expand, or adapt successful strategies to new issues, sectors, or neighborhoods. - Team Reflection and Self-Assessment
Complete a structured team reflection to assess your growth, collaboration, and progress throughout the Pathway. - Storytelling Tools and Case Materials
Use templates and examples to begin crafting your team’s narrative—highlighting successes, lessons learned, measurable results, and your community’s unique journey.
