Once you’ve tapped into the community, built a coalition, elevated the issue, developed strategies to improve reading and leveraged United Ways’ assets to engage more individuals and organizations – how do you bring it all together? Now it’s time to connect the dots, building on the mobilization work you’ve done (starting with Mobilization Jumpstart) to bring your strategies to life in a way the entire community can support.
At this stage, you and your coalition partners can inject a new wave of visibility and enthusiasm into the community around early grade reading and fuel a new level of action. If you haven’t already done so, it’s time to link your giving, advocating and volunteering calls to action to the strategies your coalition is driving and give people the opportunity to be part of the solution.
