Highlights of the June 14, 2018 Learning Community
Gail Kennedy from ACES Connection and Tracy Fauver from Resilient Yolo (and Executive Director of Yolo County CASA) provided an excellent overview of how the ACES Connection on-line platform can be used to promote collaboration to build strong families and communities. Resilient Yolo County was used as an example to help spark thinking about the many uses of ACES Connection, and how it has helped to support collaboration.
The participants were provided an opportunity to take an on-line tour of the ACES Connection website, and join the newly formed Strategies 2.0 Sierra Region Community. Participants pondered the question of how the ACES Connection can be used to develop a virtual community hub or Family Resource Center.
Next steps planned by participants include:
Starting an ACES Connection Community for their county.
Link relevant websites (such as existing Facebook Pages, community hubs, etc.) to the ACES Connection Regional and local community.
Host a training on ACES Connection locally.
Find a local champion/lead agency to sponsor an ACES Connection Community.
Introduce existing county and local coalitions to the ACES Connection platform.
