Collective Impact has many years of experience in community-level work. We define the term “community” as a geographic location (neighborhood, town, city, county, region, state, etc.)
and/or a team of individuals and entities assembled around a common purpose (human services councils, small business associations, health collaboratives, community economic development teams, early childhood coalitions, etc.). We also have nearly two decades of experience working in the "intersections" of various and diverse disciplines and industries, helping those we serve make a greater impact collectively.

What's New
Collective Impact continues to work with Washington Drug and Alcohol Commission (WDAC) and Greene County Drug and Alcohol Program on their problem gambling initiatives. With the increased availability of legalized gambling in Pennsylvania comes increased concern regarding the individual and social costs of problem gambling. The Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) is addressing this concern by increasing problem gambling prevention, education and outreach efforts throughout the state. Problem gambling prevention activities are intended to increase awareness of problem gambling within the general public; inform teachers, policy makers, and other professionals about the impact of problem gambling on the family unit, schools and communities; and educate at-risk populations such as college students, youth, and older adults about risk and protective factors in an effort to prevent problem gambling.
Success
Collective Impact worked closely with Berkeley County Council staff to design and deliver a series of nine (9) County-wide training workshops on Strengthening Workplace Sensitivity and Building Social Capital for two (2) audiences: Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department uniformed officers and other personnel and other full & part-time employees serving the public in the County. The focus of the training workshop was to raise awareness among participants of the importance of professionalism and respect within the workplace, as well as to the residents that are served. The interactive training pushed participants to face biases, prejudices, and bullying in a proactive, positive, and fun manner. It encompassed definitions and examples of harassment and discrimination and clarification of laws addressing these areas. It also provided interactive activities focusing on addressing inappropriate behavior, valuing differences, heightening cultural awareness, building cultural competence, racial profiling, and creating a culture of diversity, equality, respect, and inclusion in the workplace.
