HUB Structure

 

The Hub Structure was conceived to act as a guiding body for Valley Onward in each site with inclusive and diverse membership of grantee partners, residents, systems, and youth; whose key responsibilities would be to support the empowerment of individuals who participate, build relationships and help create and forward the vision for building a healthy community that was defined in each site’s Community Action Plan.

The Hub is expected to be in place throughout implementation of Valley Onward’s plan in each site. As issues and circumstances change, it will serve as an important venue for responding to those changes and keeping the plan on track. It will help to ensure that stakeholders are accountable to each other, and that there is local coordination. The community plan is approved by the Hub members and will be examined and updated regularly.
