Passion Here, the community and the members of the coalition posses this trait naturally and it comes through in many different ways... Passion is deep in each of us….because community members and coalition members believe, respect, honor and most importantly love our community. We all (community & Coalition) want the most and the best outcomes for our children and the families in the community.
This involves making sure that members of key stakeholders (faith community, The champions, elders, and grassroots organizations) are intimately involved with Powerbase the process of being a part of our coalition.
The Powerbase The community realizes that not having this important aspect of the community involved may negatively impact the behavioral health of many of the people in our community.
This trusted Powerbase group is foundational in that it provides the basic needs of safety, guidance, and protection. This provided security allows the The coalition to mature and flourish while in the early stages of development. Powerbase The authority of the Powerbase helps a coalition survive against need thwarting environments and lessens the experiences of need frustrations, mal-functioning, and ill-being.
Process This is a step many coalition members do not like to participate in and is very difficult to maintain but ultimately allows the Coalition to be very successful when it is a part of the coalition. The process is where we need to have a step by step understanding which will create an infrastructure and a design in our Coalition so that we can really be effective and move our coalition and our members to have successful outcomes.
Many times our Coalitions seem to consciously or unconsciously want to ignore this “P”. This includes like planning, rules, regulations, procedures and knowing how to effectively engage and market to our community. Process In many instances, many coalitions “bypass” this such as knowing how to ensure that when we receive our financial resources… how to properly use them for the purpose given, or doing a strategic plan and then follow through and since it provides the Coalition a strategy or a roadmap for success completion.
Important to maintain Ultimately allows the Coalition to be very Process successful Want to keep everyone on the “Same Page” Everyone is on the same understanding

Prestige This means the community realizes that what programs or interventions the Coalition brings is well meaning will come to fruition with their support. The Coalition’s word and “deed” is very important.
Presence A coalition is known in the community and they “Consistently” see their work. Community members know when there are community events, dialogs or concerns, the Coalition is there to support or be actively involved
