The ACT Equity Advisory Group
All Children Thrive – California (ACT) is a five-year initiative (2022-2026) to expand the role of cities and counties in preventing childhood trauma, countering its effects, and fostering community healing and resilience. Funded by the California Legislature, ACT is a partnership of UCLA (Center for Healthier Children, Families and Communities), Community Partners, California Department of Public Health and Public Health Advocates. To ensure the design and implementation of the ACT initiative is equity-focused and community-driven, we will convene an Equity Advisory Group.
The advisory group is required to attend quarterly in-person meetings that include state and local experts in trauma and equity-informed policy and systems change. These meetings will be held in ACT funded jurisdictions or volunteered locations from EAG members. EAG members must participate and engage in EAG evaluation activities as well as a subcommittee. EAG members will provide feedback on activities, materials/tools, progress, and input on future direction. EAG members will be invited to attend an optional monthly ACT Team Meeting where they receive ACT-funded project updates.
The first 2023 EAG Cohort convening will be Fall of 2023. Advisory Group members may serve through the end of the initiative as long as they are in good standing and may opt out after one year. Members will be provided a $5,000 stipend per year for their participation, which will also support their travel to meetings when needed. Please submit your application by June 23rd, 2023.
