Activity: Community Partnership Mapping Tool

Now expand your thinking beyond your existing network. Use the worksheet below to map organizations in your community that may already be connected to young caregivers and their families.

As you complete the map, keep these questions in mind: Remember, young caregivers are often connected to organizations through the person receiving care or the family—not because the organization specifically serves young caregivers.

As you complete your community map, consider:

  • Which organizations are already supporting children, youth, and families in your community?
  • Which organizations are connected to individuals living with health conditions, disabilities, mental health challenges, substance use, or aging?
  • Which partnerships are most likely to help identify and refer young caregivers?
