CONCLUSION
We seek to provide procedural supports for Extension Foundation Impact Collaborative project teams looking to implement more engaged methods in their projects. The hybrid model, with its flexibility in movement from expert to engaged models of program delivery provides an overall framework for these ways of working in Extension. The specific tools of Collective Impact and the Impact Collaborative Project Roadmap are useful ways to engage community in this project work. These engaged approaches recognize shared learning and shared expertise and emphasize having community involved in all aspects of program development – from needs assessment through evaluation – to increase community ownership. Shared expertise does not mean giving up expertise, but recognizing other sources of expertise and forms of expertise beyond content knowledge.
