CCC

The Center for Community Capacity (CCC), a program of the Louisiana Public Health Institute, is a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing the capacity of communities in Louisiana to engage in effective collaborative action for health by nurturing community coaches and partnerships with technical assistance and access to resources.

The Center for Community Capacity believes that no matter which quality of life issue a community group is working on, it is always important to work on building capacity. Not only does this raise the chance of success for that initiative, but also the chance of success for that community group in the future.

Goals of the CCC:

• Develop local capacity coaches across the state that help community coalitions
• Help community coalitions to identify issues and problem solve
• Build effective working relationships and partnerships among local organizations
• Develop a learning community among local health improvement coalitions across the state
• Support the ability of community to identify and better align existing resources and to effectively secure new resources

Activities of the CCC: * Conduct capacity assessments with groups and coalitions

• Work with groups and coalitions to create technical assistance plans that address needs
• Train community participants to become effective collaborative leaders
• Provide technical assistance in areas as needed
