The KEY component to reach each subject group is building a relationship. Each group has hadtheir share of past community groups that have come to help. Our effort is long term, inreality, our effort will forge lifetime relationships. Trust is the foundation to any relationship.We must prove to each group, by our actions, that they can trust us.As our relationship strengthens, we will lead each group to the next level of accountability.

First Level - OUTREACH :Introduction of our goals. Building trust every time we meet.

Second Level - MOTIVATION : Trust will open doors and relationships will share a vision.

Third Level - PARTICIPATE : Relationships will strengthen / seeds of accountability will be laid.

Forth Level - STAKEHOLDER : Are leaders born or are they made? Well never know.
