A brief description of the policies and procedures that ensure community stakeholder engagement is applied systematically and regularly across the institution’s activities:
Project One has initiated a strategic plan for guiding criteria that must be considered by all institutional partnerships/projects. This criteria will become guiding policy by which all departments must complete in order to engage in a new partnership or project with a community partner. For ongoing community engagement partnerships, Memorandums of Understanding will be drafted to help ensure shared expectations, goals, and assessment.
None
A brief description of how the institution identifies and engages community stakeholders, including any vulnerable or underrepresented groups:
As an institution, we target our efforts toward our local neighborhood which is largely comprised of underrepresented citizens and identify as low socio-economic status. Thus, one of our guiding criteria pertains to resources/accessibility for our local neighborhood. We engage with community stakeholders through educational outreach efforts, volunteer efforts, and membership on local community neighborhood associations.
