Hey @Zakk, this retreat was not primarily focused on goal setting, because we already have goals for the season (you can see them here: Cabin Labs - Spring 2024).
Our primary focus this season has been on activating 10+ neighborhood stewards through our Neighborhood Accelerator program and building a pipeline of 20+ potential stewards for future cohorts. We are currently exceeding these goals while keeping a high quality bar for the program.
We ran a pilot Cohort 0 in the first half of the season with 5 neighborhoods, and used the learnings from that cohort to build out a complete curriculum and program for Cohort 1 (Cabin Neighborhood Accelerator - Summer 2024), which is launching next week with 10 more confirmed neighborhoods. We have recruited 83 applications for the program so far, which has allowed us to keep it selective and focused on highly committed participants. An additional 15 of these applicants were a strong fit, but not ready to start the cohort next week, so we plan to circle back and include them in the Fall 2024 cohort.
From here, our next milestones will be kicking off the Neighborhood Accelerator Cohort 1 on June 3rd and running the program over the next 13 weeks, through September 4th. Over that time, we will be evaluating the engagement and retention of the cohort, growth of their neighborhoods, and feedback loop from neighborhood content to new applications for future cohorts. Additionally, we will be working with this cohort to understand potential growth paths, tools, and revenue opportunities associated with developing neighborhoods.
