Establish a Structured
Community Planning and Decision-Making Process
We maintain and facilitate an ongoing process
that brings all community members together to make plans and decisions
about children family issues. Through community planning processes
we identify local community and family strengths, formal and informal community
supports, and private and public sector services and resources. We
also identify local problems, needs and priorities. We facilitate
bringing research and best practices information to the table to enable
a community to design programs and services that work, and which are best
suited to local needs and problems. This results in a comprehensive
plan. We encourage all stakeholders to participate in this comprehensive
planning process, and to identify elements of the plan that their organizations
can support and help implement.
Creates and Encourage
Collaborative Partnerships
We are convener and catalyst to bring states
and local systems together to form new linkages, partnerships, and collaboration's.
We create opportunities for individuals, community organizations, schools,
businesses, governments and service providers to form new relationships
to share goals, resources and responsibilities for improved outcomes for
children and families. We help develop and support these new collaborative
relationships and partnerships among all stakeholders. We support
organizational and community development training and education to further
facilitate community collaboration.
Create A Wellness
System
We implement our comprehensive plan by
using a limited budget as matching or start-up funds for local projects
or initiatives that will start moving our community towards wellness.
We use our funds to leverage financial and other resources, or as incentives
to collaborate. We seek to develop new funding sources or resources.
We do that in part by facilitating the coordination, partnering and collaboration
of public and private local, states and federal organizations to reduce
duplication and redundancy in the system and thereby increased system capacity
and efficiency.
Be Accountable for
What We Do
We ensure that what we do has the desired
outcome, and that those efforts and outcomes are measurable. We do
that inpart by linking our goals and objectives to research, by maintaining
proper internal controls, by proper monitoring and evaluation of our contractors,
and by reporting results to the state and public. |
