Community Teams

PROSPER Community Teams are small and strategic and have a specific leadership and membership composition.

Community Teams are lead by County Extension Agents/Educators with a Families or Youth Development/4-h background and co-lead by a representative from the Community School District.

Community Teams typically include 8-10 members that represent a range of local stakeholders, such as:

• staff from human and health services agencies
• parent and youth representatives
• government officials, law enforcement, juvenile justice liaisons, business people, and faith-based representative
