opportunities to provide input on a project or

process.

What is Community

Culture?

� A set of core beliefs, values, practices,

principles, norms, or behaviors that are held by

a group of people who have common interests

and a willingness to work together to achieve

them.

“Community participation,

when it’s real, is your

main investment in accountability.

It’s your main investment in

sustainability…community participation is when,

truly, you involve people in creating a mechanism

for themselves to define change.”- America Bracho,

Executive Director, Latino Health Access

Text Chat

How do you know when community engagement efforts

are effective?

How Do You Know

the Community Is Engaged?

� Attendance over time

� Consistent community input

� Ongoing recruitment

� Community members in positions of leadership

� Sustainability milestones

� Utilization of programs

Engaging Communities Across the

Continuum

Latino Health Access and the Promotoras Model : Santa Ana, CA

� Previously established trust between LHA

and community

� Community members approached LHA

with their concerns. First, they worked as

volunteers and later were hired on as

employees.

� Success due in part because LHA has the

trust of both the community and public

officials, and is accountable to both groups.
