Evaluating Your NLC

There are many different ways to engage the community. This can be done via surveys to see which services/programs community members may be interested in meeting informally by opening up a school to host an arts and craft show or holding neighbourhood association meetings. The Community Engagement Guide outlines 5 Key Steps to Community Engagement. They are:

Key 1: Share Leadership – Collaborate to strengthen your NLC and community
Key 2: Reach Out – Discover who your community members are
Key 3: Know where you’re going – Stay connected with your community
Key 4: Stay on course – Stay true to your vision
Key 5: Tell your school’s story – Be bold and share what’s working
