Overview
Our AHLP project will focus on building the capacity of the community-based organizations we fund through development of CBO-targeted best practices and internally targeted management/leadership best practices. We propose to develop CBO capacity in several areas including: developing standards around providing technical assistance to our CBO partners, providing increased communication and aid regarding online grant resources, determining and applying criteria for continued funding, and providing evaluation guidance for future federal funding.

National Home Visiting Network
Cohort 10 - 2021
NLAPH
Overview
The team will utilize its network reach to center the power of parent voice as a means of advancing equity across the nation’s early childhood home visiting field.
They aim to use network roles to galvanize the larger field of home visiting to apply an equity lens across all aspects of our collective and individual work.
Their efforts will include working in partnership with two home visiting communities (Los Angeles and Michigan) to co-develop and test intentional activities that: elevate and communicate the power of parent voice, expand the use of disaggregated data, and share promising practices for embedding an equity frame across local networks.

Her Power
Cohort 4 - 2015
NLAPH
Overview
The Her Power Team, comprised of four women with disabilities, is currently implementing a violence prevention strategy through a self-empowerment intervention program for teen girls with disabilities. The program is delivered through a four-day, overnight event entitled “Her Power, Her Pride, Her Voice,” for teen girls with disabilities in Michigan (Her Power). Moving forward into its sixth year, the program implements a recruitment strategy that focuses on the inclusion of girls with disabilities, those who currently receive foster care or are living in group homes, participants of refugee services, and girls whose lives have intersected with the criminal justice system.
