Our Services

Community of practice

The Alliance’s programming is based on a model of reciprocal mentorship. Learning together provides pathways to sustainability, quality and growth. We organize a monthly community of practice to share knowledge, best practices and materials. Practitioners meet monthly for one hour of training, conversing or workshopping. Expert speakers offer informed strategies and foster dialogue on topics that support the school health workforce, school health delivery, and student equity.

Basecamp

Leaders in health care organizations, public health and school districts working within established school-based centers and emerging school-based health initiatives share the intention of transforming health and education equity for students and communities. On our BASECAMP they can share resources, pose questions, and exchange ideas. This is a shared electronic space for engagement around common struggles, assets, and solutions.
