Community partners are organizations, and in some cases public agencies and university based programs, committed to working for the improvement of services offered by a Compassionate Communities initiative in conjunction with local community government. If you haven't filled out an application to become a Compassionate City And Community yet, you can do so here.

The characteristics of effective community partners include:
 

  • alignment with the Charter's mission and vision
     
  • recognition of the value of community-based participatory approaches to learning, research, evaluation and partnerships
     
  • meaningful relationships with the community on multiple levels, competently facilitating partnerships and following participatory approaches
     
  • access to decision makers within the community
     
  • skills in problem solving, conflict resolution and work to maintain collaboration with all involved in a community initiative

  • commitment to the community and the partnership process
