The Community Engagement Across the Project Lifespan: Deepening Partnerships to Strengthen Impact Learning Community is designed for individuals and teams in HHS Regions 6, 8, 9, or 10 seeking to work with communities, not just in them. Participants will explore strategies for making community engagement more meaningful, reciprocal, and sustainable across every phase of a program or initiative. Through interactive discussions, real-world examples, and shared learning, participants will gain practical strategies for building and nurturing relationships that lead to lasting impact.

Each session is grounded in the belief that communities hold the wisdom to shape the programs intended to serve them. Whether participants are beginning to consider engagement or looking to deepen existing relationships, this series offers tools to support inclusive, thoughtful, and community-grounded approaches.
