Driving change in local communities
We’d love for you to join our movement. We offer support, guidance and a national community of like-minded parents that are “in it with you” every step of the way!
Driving change in local communities
Our four-step approach to cultural change:
Invite. Excite. Unite. Activate.
We meet communities where they are. Real cultural change comes from collaboration, honest conversation, and small steps stacked up over time. Our approach brings every voice to the table with the programs, support, and education each one needs to make change stick.
What works at the national level only works if it works locally. A local TBP community is what this approach looks like when it lands in your town: shaped by you, your kids, your schools, and your neighbors. We help you apply our behavior-changing approach and tools in your community!
How Communities Are Structured:
Our communities are town-centered with efforts focused on gaining alignment and driving change in your immediate local schools and community. We believe this is the most effective way to drive actionable change “on the ground”.
Where there are several geographically aligned towns, we are also making connections in regional areas to drive synergies and efficiencies where possible (e.g. collaborating and co-hosting events, developing like-minded programs and approaches that meet common needs, etc).
Leading A Community:
Each town or school has a lead or co-lead team. As a lead, you are invited to an onboarding session and have access to onboarding materials and information to help you find your village and establish your unique community goals.
You then have access to a flexible toolkit of education, tools and programming that you can leverage to support these goals. We also offer ongoing support, training and guidance as you navigate, including connecting you to other Leads, key opinion leaders and experts in the space.
Joining A Community
Our model allows for involvement regardless of how much time you’re able to give. If you aren’t able to lead, no problem! There is still a place for you where you can make a difference. Every voice counts and plays an important role.
