P3 Deliverables

The City of Gainesville, Florida has enlisted Public Participation Partner’s help in developing resources for standardizing the City’s community engagement and training staff. As part of these efforts, P3 interviewed City staff members and community partners to gather information on current community engagement practices. With a better understanding of existing processes, P3 developed a comprehensive, 80-page guidebook outlining a standard and equitable process for planning for and implementing community engagement in Gainesville. Using the guidebook, P3 created training materials, including a training packet with fillable worksheets and comprehensive PowerPoint covering the materials from the guidebook, and conducted a train-the-trainer session to help create a sustainable method of training staff on community engagement best practices.

 

P3 will also be responsible for developing a training for the City of Gainesville’s new Community Connectors program. This program offers high school students and recent graduates the opportunity to learn more about City processes and develop a pathway to employment with the City. P3 will provide insights on community engagement, facilitation, and the importance of using public input in making decisions.
