Los Angeles Performance Partnership Pilot (LAP3) Formative Evaluation Report

The Los Angeles Performance Partnership Pilot (LAP3) Initiative represents a profound change for how youth services are delivered in Los Angeles City and County. In our view, this profound change is taking place at both the policy and operational levels. At the policy level, newly formed partnerships between City and County Agencies, the Federal government, and nonprofit and philanthropic organizations are creating novel ways to change policies and relationships to create a new, more collaborative way to serve disconnected youth. At the operational level, City of Los Angeles’ YouthSource Centers (YSCs) – who operate WIOA youth services under contract with Economic and Workforce Development Department (EWDD) – are working to integrate their services with a wide array of County, City, and nonprofit organizations. This formative evaluation report provides our insights and ideas about how implementation of the LAP3 model went in the first year of operation (i.e., July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017). Essentially, this report seeks to accomplish six things: 1. Provide a basic description of the youth served in the first year of the program. 2. Describe the services received by both WIOA-enrolled youth and youth who were not formally enrolled in WIOA. 3. Provide an in-depth description of how the program was implemented at the four case study sites. 4. Identify best practices that have moved LAP3 towards its vision at the policy and operational levels. 5. Identify barriers and issues that emerged at the policy and operational levels that need to be overcome to more fully realize the LAP3 vision. 6. Make recommendations to improve the implementation of LAP3 in future years
