The Healthy Communities Partnership Program works to develop the capacity of citizens to create a locally shared vision and plan and to mobilize local and regional assets to implement that plan. The program provides training that focuses on the importance of involving all segments of the community in the planning and development process, and the value of connecting to surrounding communities. Through HCP, communities are empowered to:

• Focus on the positive assets of their community
• Develop a shared vision of a brighter future
• Create a strategic plan to achieve their shared vision
• Fund implementation projects
• Provide service opportunities for their citizens by matching individual passions with volunteer opportunities
• Cultivate new servant leaders
