Insights & Evaluation

Championing a multi-sector approach to healthy communities

We believe that projects are most successful when bringing together diverse stakeholders from across a community. Through our programs, we bridge the divide between public, private, non-profit, and other sectors, helping to create a coalition that can bring about lasting change and impact.

What participants are saying

 
 

“This program was transformative for me and for our rural community. I credit it with opening doors to national funding opportunities such as the Robert Wood Johnson-funded “Raising Places” effort. It sparked an intellectual curiosity that has expanded my leadership capacity while also nurturing a deep-seated sense of joy and purpose. I can’t thank the Academy enough!”

"The program brought the team together and engaged them in a commitment that cemented the team for long-term performance. That commitment has been the impetus for others to want to be engaged and participating."
