- 3. ROADMAP 3 What was the intent & mission? What have we done? How does this relate to your CA? What is YOUR mission?
- 4. Intent and Mission - Community Capacity? Community Capacity involves people who feel a sense of shared responsibility and apply their collective strengths to achieve desired results. Having high capacity means that people are working together to better their community. 4
- 5. Intent & Mission - Capacity Building • Goal: informal networks and formal systems work together to achieve positive results for community members • Change is initiated by people in the community • When informal networks collaborate with formal systems the ability to create change grows 5
- 6. A tale of Two Missions… • Formal explicit mission: • Create awareness about and disseminate two Community Capacity building tools: • Community Capacity Building TRAINING • Community Capacity Building INVENTORY 6
- 7. A tale of Two Missions… 7 • Informal implicit mission: – Introduce/Reacquaint military stakeholders to/with LAND GRANT & COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SYSTEM(s) CES represents a collection of “never- failing springs” on the landscape re these ingredients of CCB
- 8. What Was the Intent & Mission? 8 1. Explicit – create awareness about & disseminate the two community capacity building tools 2. Implicit - Introduce /Reacquaint military stakeholders with the Land Grant system, and the Cooperative Extension System(s), respectively.
- 9. What Have We Done? • Explicit mission – tools • We worked with DoD to revise and roll out the Community Capacity Learning Modules • We are working with DoD on piloting the Community Capacity Inventory Tool as a part of the Building Healthy Military Communities Pilot 9

- 19. What Have We Done – Community Capacity Inventory • Building Healthy Military Communities is a seven state pilot program which aims to better understand the challenges faced by Service members and their families in accessing resources that may impact force readiness, well-being, and resiliency. • The program will operate in Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, Maryland, Indiana, Florida, and Oklahoma. • At the beginning of the pilot, the program will perform an environmental scan to determine the assets and needs of each state 19 https://www.jointservicessupport.org/Outreach/Index8.aspx
- 20. What Have We Done? • Implicit Mission - Introduce /Reacquaint military stakeholders with the Land Grant system, and the Cooperative Extension System(s), respectively. – Developed multiple webinars situating CES as “Force Multiplier in Military Family Readiness Mission” – Actively working to familiarize BHMC Pilot member with their respective State CES and facilitate new collaborative relationships 20

- 26. Map Check 26 What was the intent & mission? What have we done? How does this relate to your CA? What is YOUR mission?
- 27. How Does This Relate to Your CA? • If military stakeholders aren’t clear on “why Cooperative Extension”… can we: • engage military family service providers in the exchange of experiences and research to enhance professional impact and encourage professional growth? • encourage the formation and expansion of a skilled and collaborative network of professionals who support significant positive outcomes for military service members and their families? • combine innovative online professional development, opportunities for social learning and sharing, and the human and experiential resources of the Cooperative Extension system? 27
- 28. How Does This Relate to Your CA? The potential of the Cooperative Extension Service and the land grant colleges and universities to be a readily available force-multiplier for the Family Readiness mission area was recognized by leaders at DoD and USDA, and an MOU was signed between the two agencies to facilitate investment in developing, refining, and deploying the Cooperative Extension Service in the area of Family Readiness. 28 Robert L. Gordon III, deputy assistant secretary of defense for military community and policy, and Cathie E. Woteki, the Agriculture Department’s undersecretary for research, education and economics, celebrate the signing of a proclamation in recognition of the DOD and USDA Extension-Military Partnership during the opening session of the 2011 Family Resilience Conference in Chicago, April 27, 2011.

- 29. How Does This Relate to Your CA? 29 So often, we in extension assume too much. We assume those outside extension know how awesome it is. They don’t. Many have no idea what it is. That’s our fault. This is a great idea, by policy makers. Maximum effectiveness in implementation requires better awareness among military partners re CES.
- 30. How Does This Relate to Your CA? 30
- 31. How Does This Relate to Your CA? Our MFLN work needs to serve as testimony to how awesome extension is: 31 Will it be REMEMBERED as RELIABLE? Is it EVIDENCE –BASED? (Empirical)? Is it VISIBLE & VIABLE? Is it VALUABLE? Access to Cooperative Extension itself is a measure of community capacity!
- 32. Your Mission 32 If we agree that access to Cooperative Extension itself is a measure of community capacity, then we need to do a better job of educating our military stakeholders more broadly about Cooperative Extension as it relates to community capacity.How?
- 33. Your Mission Take the Community Capacity Building Training Review the webinars and blogposts about CES as a source of community capacity. Use the language of CES as “Force-multiplier in the Family Readiness Mission” Add a slide or two in webinars contextualizing your work as community capacity building, with hyperlinks to existing CCB content Link to CCB in online and social media content 33
- 34. Conclusion • CCB personnel will work with MFLN leadership to develop “Sunset and integration” steps and resources • This will include transitioning CCB from a Concentration Area to a “cross-cutting theme” 34

- building relationship with civilian community/partner/collaborations to enhance service delivery for SM and FM -- We can't do this alone; everyone to come together to support. You may know this as this as "out-reach, collaboration, partnership -- some people connect this with Inter-Service Family Assistance Committee (ISFAC) -- all the same goal to provides services and quality of life initiatives for SM and FM CCB is about building relationships with our colleagues
- In order to build community capacity, especially to build a community’s capacity to better support service members and their families in transition, we have to work to connect formal systems and informal systems. Remember the conundrum of the two options earlier? Collaboration between formal and informal networks can prevent gaps that transitioning service members and their families might face. We also have to remember that change is initiated by people, not usually institutions, and that when informal networks collaborate with formal systems the ability to create change increases dramatically.
- Now that we have programs and services and identified and highlighted programs and initiatives that have done this well you may wonder how you can learn more about the topic of building capacity within your community. OSD in conjunction with ...... has developed these online training modules to........
- A land-grant college or university is an institution that has been designated by its state legislature or Congress to receive the benefits of the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. The original mission of these institutions, as set forth in the first Morrill Act, was to teach agriculture, military tactics, and the mechanic arts as well as classical studies so that members of the working classes could obtain a liberal, practical education. There are 106 of them.
