Community Engagement

In order to achieve our vision and mission, we have to ensure our community members are holding the power to drive strategies and action that will help them thrive.

Throughout the community, there is an incredible amount of momentum around community engagement and mobilization. Even still, decisions are often made without engaging the people most impacted by them. 

How We Do This

Youth and Community-Led Coalition
  A Youth and community-led coalition is a group of youth and community members directly impacted by the Rocky Mountain Partnership (RMP)’s priority areas. They mobilize to advocate for the resources and supports they most need, and that they deserve.

This includes developing messaging, strategies, and action.

Developing Action Jointly With Community

 

Community members with lived experience work TOGETHER with formal decisionmakers to develop strategies and action that will most help the community across RMP’s priority areas. This is also referred to as ‘co-development of solutions.’

This includes having community members be an equal participant in work sessions or as a standing member of RMP workgroups and leadership tables.

Community Voice and Perspective

 

Gather and utilize stories, perspectives, and insights from community members with lived experience to inform and drive collective work within RMP’s priority areas.

This qualitative data is collected through focus groups, interviews, surveys, and other efforts.

Moving from ‘Inform’ to ‘Hold Power’

Through our community engagement efforts, we are ultimately working to support our larger community to move beyond community members providing information to inform decisionmakers, to support community members into positions with decision making authority and to drive strategies and conversations.

The journey from ‘Inform’ to ‘Hold Power’ is illustrated in the Community Engagement Spectrum below. Click the image below to see examples of what moving across the spectrum looks like in practice.
