The work of authentically helping improve well-being and health requires a new dedication to – and discipline for – engaging with our communities regarding proposed changes and developments. It’s time for a method termed Pre-Community Engagement, and Vitalyst has partnered with community members and leaders to produce the latest Spark Report that shows the way.

Typical “community input/feedback” methods often fail to actually connect communities with proposed changes or developments because they miss the pre-engagement steps necessary to more authentically collaborate with and better support communities. In Pre-Community Engagement: Setting the Stage for Authentic Community Engagement, the authors and community leaders dedicate their insights, experiences, and voices to new frameworks built on guiding principles, the honoring of underlying values, and ten community-driven recommendations.

Do not miss this report. Pre-Community Engagement offers powerful advice for anyone with a goal of “doing well by doing right by our communities.” Download Pre-Community Engagement: Setting the Stage for Authentic Community Engagement today.
