Summer collaborators will play many roles. They will help you understand the breadth and depth of work happening in the summer; bring diverse perspectives to the planning process; increase the collaborative's credibility and reach; and carry out elements of a shared plan.

This resource provides a list of key partners to include in your collaborative and guiding questions, helping you identify unique contributors within your community. Use this resource as a starting point to identify and engage the people, organizations, and community assets that can support your planning process. As you work through the resource, consider which stakeholders and community resources are most relevant to your goals and how you can meaningfully involve them throughout planning, implementation, and evaluation.
