What is a Collaborative Board?

A collaborative board is a broad-based group of people representing multiple sectors of the community, such as (but not limited to): law enforcement, school administrators/staff, health and human service providers, business leaders, the faith community, county agencies, parents, youth, and others who come together to plan and coordinate the implementation of prevention programming for the community.

z

What is a Risk and Resource Assessment (RRA)?

The goal of the Risk and Resource Assessment (RRA) process is for the applicant to create a community profile that incorporates both the community’s strengths and challenges related to positive youth-development. The RRA should also explore the causes of youth problem behaviors (risk factors), as determined by local data, as well as the factors that buffer youth against problem behaviors (protective factors).
