How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Collective Impact through Community Mobilization
    methodology: collective_impact
    By mobilizing community resources and fostering collective action across organizations and individuals, we produce measurable improvements in community well-being because complex social issues require shared responsibility, coordinated efforts, and unified strategies.
  • Education as a Foundational Pathway
    methodology: education_as_a_pathway
    By investing in education and promoting high school graduation, we produce better long-term economic and health outcomes because educational attainment increases employment opportunities, healthcare access, and financial stability.
  • Harm Reduction for Opioid Safety
    methodology: harm_reduction
    By distributing naloxone and enabling safe disposal of medications, we reduce opioid overdose deaths because increasing access to life-saving interventions and removing unused drugs from homes directly interrupts the risk pathway.
  • Standards-Based Collaborative Funding
    methodology: standards_based_funding
    By using a rigorous, standards-based review process to guide investments in partner programs, we improve program effectiveness and equity because funding decisions are grounded in accountability for governance, financial management, and inclusiveness.
  • Youth Protective Factors Model
    methodology: youth_protective_factors_model
    By building eight key protective factors in youth—such as support, positive identity, and social competencies—we produce resilience against substance use and other risks because these factors address root causes of vulnerability and promote healthy development.
