Best Start Region 1
As the communications partner for Best Start Region 1, a community movement funded through First 5 LA strengthening families and communities, we work with community members and partnerships, workgroups, and neighborhood leadership groups to support, identify and address family and community barriers that impact children's health outcomes.
STRATEGY
Our team builds technical capacity for partner agencies, promotoras, and residents, including marketing channels, design, facilitation, and organizing. The result of consistent capacity building with residents is the organizing of community events and outreach to advocate for themselves and their families. Team Friday works with partners to design data communication outreach to residents with a structure to coach members through the information. Team Friday works at the intersection of communications and community, and a key element of our foundation is the goal to build the capacity of community residents to tell their own story, for themselves and for systems change.
FACILITATION/PARTNERSHIP SUPPORT
We support community residents in building their capacity in marketing and communications. We co-create the processes of community activation, co-facilitate community meetings, and collaborate with other contract vendors to elevate the data, stories, and lived experiences in the communities of Southeast LA, East LA, El Monte/South El Monte, and the larger Metro LA. We also craft the narrative of the Best Start Region 1 to share with funders, policymakers, and other organizations. The work with Best Start Region 1 is systems navigation, accessibility, and advocacy within highly-impacted communities.
