Community-Centered Practice

Partnering with communities in support of community-driven change.

We work with community collaboratives and networks of community collaboratives to coordinate communities of practice and learning communities; facilitate peer learning; provide coaching and mentoring; support community engagement, planning, and capacity building; build power with communities; and manage grants at the local, regional, state and national levels.

Applying this strategy, we work to achieve: community-defined solutions; community-level change across sociocultural, physical and built, educational, and economic environments; shifts in power to communities; stronger upstream prevention efforts; and expanded community engagement.
