This paper makes the case for why collective impact initiatives must address inequity to be successful. It highlights a range of Opportunity Youth Forum (OYF) efforts to place equity at the center of local collective impact efforts for opportunity youth and identifies ways organizations, practitioners, and leaders can address institutional inequity. This paper also encourages community collaboratives to start where they are now by beginning to consciously strive for greater equity in their communities.
