The Magnolia Community Initiative (MCI) is an approach for improving population well-being at a community scale. MCI is a voluntary network of 70 organizations in partnership with residents. This network came together with the vision of 35,000 children living in the neighborhoods within a 500 block catchment area breaking all records of success in their education, health, and the quality of nurturing care and economic stability they receive from their families and community. The goal is to create a systemic approach that improves conditions and outcomes for a local population of children and families.
