Partnerships for Community ResiliencySM (PCR) is a collaborative venture between ERCEGI and local communities primed for change. PCR establishes an infrastructure in counties that will facilitate and ensure community resiliency while promoting nonprofit and faith-based initiatives working to aid those in distress. To help organize the work and provide a collaborative model for community organizations to rally around the work focuses on ensuring balance in seven key areas of well-being for both youth and community resiliency.
The aim of partnerships…
is to work together to assess the needs in a community and develop a coordinated response to those needs. Working together helps you deliver consistent messages and reach constituents through a variety of channels. It also presents valuable opportunities to share resources, develop joint goals and objectives, and learn from each other.
