Phases of Community Engagement

Phase I: Setting the Stage

Phase II: Getting Started

Phase III: Keeping it Going

Phase IV: Wrapping Up

For each phase we will provide:

1. An Overview section,
2. An Ask Yourself section, (with questions to consider when entering a community)
3. A Keep in Mind section, (to remind you of important considerations)
4. A Community Engagement Activities section, (to consider based on the community's needs)

It is important to note that some activities sit squarely in a specific phase. However, others are cross-cutting and will apply throughout your involvement with a community. Many activities will happen in parallel, making it critical to maintain good communication across allies and efforts.
