The Healthy Start TA & Support Center (TASC) is excited to have hosted its inaugural Community Engagement Learning Academy! Community engagement is fundamental to the success of Healthy Start’s Community Action Networks (CANs). The Community Engagement Learning Academy allowed Healthy Start grantees to participate in an extensive study into community engagement, including strategies for practical application in local contexts. Using several evidence-based frameworks, participants identified approaches to support their project and community in spurring systemic change.

With assistance from the Learning Academy’s Dean, Danette McLaurin Glass of First TEAM America, grantees developed concrete strategies for establishing and implementing their community engagement plan.

Participants also had the opportunity to apply basic community engagement principles, culminating in a tool to empower their community to achieve sustainable and systemic change.
