I am the statewide coordinator for a project working on primary prevention called DELTA. It is a collaborative agreement between the CDC and 14 state domestic violence coaltions. In Virginia we have 15 teams woking in their local communities to create and implement prevention plans.
I am constantly looking for tools the Virginia teams can use to further their plans. I am also looking for new ways of doing old work with a twist.

Who I am Use of CTB
In May of 2004 I participated in a leadership training program that asked us to develop a project utilizing our new skills. Either we design our own project or join an exisiting one. I choose to design my own project which is to develop a neighborhood organization for my community. At one time or another there was an organization, I feel confident it can be done again. It's something long overdue and it is evident that our community is not receiving the resources that is directed to our part of the city, of which includes Several smaller communities. but since we don't Voice our needs, I feel we don't get to take advantage of what resources instead, we get taken advantage of. I'd like to change that and give our community a voice once again.
today, I used the Community Tool Box for ideas to help design our Mission Statement. I find this site very helpful and will return. thank you for being available.
