About the Rural Health Community Capacity Academy
The Rural Health Community Capacity Academy is designed to support rural organizations in addressing local community health challenges by building their capacity for community engagement and development. Selected organizations will work with rural health development coaches who provide personalized guidance to assess strengths and develop strategies to overcome challenges.
This program is aimed at established rural health organizations with a demonstrated need for capacity-building support. Assistance may focus on improving operations, such as administrative processes, leadership development, and strengthening collaboration. Organizations may also benefit from guidance on funding opportunities and resources, though securing funding is not guaranteed. Additionally, participants may receive support in evaluating community health needs assessments to better understand and address local health challenges.
Development coaches will provide tailored support through regular virtual meetings, 2-3 site visits, and ongoing communication. They will work closely with organizations to assess their needs, develop strategic plans, and connect them to resources that help them better serve their communities.
Application Process
Applications are due by Friday, November 1. NRHA will review applications and notify applicants of their status via email. Accepted applicants must confirm their participation within two weeks of notification.
