Laying the Foundation for Sustainable Change
We build organizational and leadership capacity to effectively adopt, implement, and sustain changes in policy and practice. We offer hands-on, experiential, and ongoing TTA opportunities across multiple modalities to instill learnings and boost skills.
Balancing Guidance and Responsiveness
Our team is committed to improving community health and wellness through evidence-based and culturally responsive practice. We promote the use and appropriate adaption of research-based frameworks and programs to address complex social problems.
Advancing Health Equity
We support authentic community engagement, elevation of cultural expertise, and the use of community-defined effective practices and participatory approaches. We lift up youth, family, and consumer voice and leadership.
Fostering Community and Peer Networks
We create multiple and ongoing opportunities for peer learning and knowledge transfer. We foster dynamic learning and practice communities among funding recipients, collaborators, and leaders and practitioners in similar roles.
