Resources For Coalitions
Creating relationships to engage and learn.
Coalitions offer context, information, and support to empower local programs to make the best decisions for themselves in ways that mirror the work that advocacy programs do with survivors. Coalitions develop this context and information by having relationships across the whole state or territory, and constantly engaging with and learning from peers. RSP provides connection, learning, and support for all coalition staff, whether you are part of a new or emerging coalition or a seasoned veteran. RSP has resources to support coalitions’ work from training and TA to fiscal management to evaluation.
Many of RSP’s tools were developed in conversation with, or based on the experiences of, your coalition peers and highlight the best of what we collectively know.
In addition to providing the tools below, we are available to support coalition staff via…
- Individual phone or email
- Recurring online discussions
- Position- and identity-specific calls
- Organizational trainings
- Conference presentations
- Visits to your coalition
