What does it mean to “Amplify Community Voice”?
• Strengthening community impact through representation and engagement
• Begin with the community’s perceived needs—listen!
• Use an asset-based approach vs. deficit approach
*”Start where the people are.” (Nyswander, 1956)

A Starting Point : Amplifying Community Voice Efforts
• PIHC efforts: community conversations with Sno.Co residents across the county (119 people; and 11 groups thus far)
• Additional Efforts: *”Picture Health” -community photo contest *Interviews
*Quantitative surveys *Synthesis of existing data
• Intent is to let people discuss these issues from their vantage points
• Hear voices often excluded
• Deepen our understanding of health through the eyes of residents
• Ground models of understanding in here and now
• Determine ways in which to address gaps and leverage community resources

Using an Asset-Based Approachto Community Transformation
• “Our institutions and agencies cannot solve all of our social ills. Most are at max capacity. Only people can create community…. Change relies largely on those living in the community.”

Social capital works through multiple channels:Information flows (e.g. learning about jobs, learning about candidates running for office, exchanging ideas at college, etc.) depend on social capital.Norms of reciprocity (mutual aid) rely on social networks. Bonding networks that connect folks who are similar sustain particularized (in-group) reciprocity. Bridging networks that connect individuals who are diverse sustain generalized reciprocity.Collective action depends upon social networks (e.g., the role that the black church played in the Civil Rights movement), although collective action also can foster new networks.Broader identities and solidarity are encouraged by social networks that help translate an "I" mentality into a "we" mentality.http://www.escapefromcubiclenation.com/2010/08/23/connectors-mavens-and-salesmen-the-secret-to-your-success/

“Too often, young people come to believe they cannot make a difference in their
own lives or in the life of their community.
(by engaging) students in learning experiences that give them a sense of
their own power and ability to effect change for themselves and others
around them.”--Sheldon Berman, Citizenship Matters
One central element in (closing) the achievement gap…
is (closing) the empowerment gap

“I go to the food bank twice a month in order to eat. I can’t afford to go and buy a lot of groceries or anything…But it’s hard to eat properly. They’re very generous but it’s hard sometimes to eat the proper foods to help myself feel good or feel well.”

“Most people in this County are Caucasian. I am Columbian. When I go to school, I don’t see people like me. I have been discriminated against because I speak Spanish.
