WSU Stevens Extension and the statewide WSU Horizons program have supported the work in nine communities in Stevens County since 2005. We have developed a large network of resources and agencies that continue to organize and deliver this community development work. A national evaluation team concluded that Horizons has been "very successful in engaging communities, building a cadre of confident empowered new leaders, providing them with new skills and significantly boosting civic engagement."
We will build on these relationships and leadership to form our new coalition.
Goals
During this first year we will form the coalition
We will develop strong guidelines about how to get the work done
Share asset building developments with all communities in Stevens County
The first project to tackle will be to establish clear communication strategies.
