Community Benefits
Do you feel like your community is lacking momentum? Have you been trying to move forward interesting ideas, but keep getting hung up on lack of engagement from residents or entrenched roadblocks in relationships?
Do you ever think: there has to be a better way, a different path forward?
Cultivate communities will work through questions like these – and create tangible results – through two years of intensive coaching and technical assistance.
Communities will be paired with coaches who will help them reach their goals through:
- Starting and continuing an ongoing, productive community-wide conversation
- Planning and carrying out community projects
- Establishing and carrying out promotional campaigns for initiatives
- Connecting with resource providers
- Identifying and understanding community-based policy issues
- Identifying and planning additional training opportunities
