Dear <<First Name>>,

We are thankful to have this powerful network during these challenging times. Despite the obstacles ahead, we are in this fight together. As we move forward, we will continue to share resources to support your resiliency and response efforts.

Today we are excited to release three new opportunities to help local coalitions adapt to this shifting environment. Click here to access an application for the first series of offerings through our COSN Accelerator 2.0 program.This application will allow your coalition to apply for:
  • Team-based training in mental health first aid (MHFA) and technical support to help your coalition build a trauma-informed community
  • Recruitment of AmeriCorps VISTA members to help build capacity within your coalition
  • Access to technical assistance to help your coalition implement key projects and adapt to the changing landscape under COVID-19
