Transforming our community,
MCI is a social innovations lab with a model for prevention that is working to go beyond direct services to create large-scale community change.
Watch & get to know MCITo have 35,000 children living in the neighborhoods within the 5-square mile/500 blocks of the Magnolia Catchment Area in Los Angeles, California break all records of success in their education and health, and the quality of nurturing care and the economic stability they receive from their families and community?
MCI is driven to create safe and supportive environments for all the children in the MCI catchment area. Our network galvanizes community residents and organizational partners to create a local response to improving their community.

DISCOVERMCI uses a network approach to leverage resilience and community assets that combat the entrenched problems that children and families face.
OUR APPROACHMCI network seeks to improve child outcomes in education. After testing various strategies the network landed on the importance of supporting family routines that increase language acquisition and decrease developmental vulnerability. The MCI Network chose to support families, family support programs, and teachers in tracking daily reading routines after reaching a consensus to spread this routine based on research in 2013.
