Getting Engaged: Resources to Support Community Engagement Practices

Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS)

This document is part of a series called Getting Engaged (https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/entity/topic/series_getting_engaged), designed to help Extension and research personnel and other community engagement professionals become capable of and comfortable with engagement with a variety of stakeholder audiences. Engagement generally “describes intentional, meaningful interactions that provide opportunities for mutual learning between [domain experts] and members of the public” (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016, para. 1). For a more thorough discussion of engagement, please see the first article in this series, “Public” Engagement for Researchers (https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/WC272). This document offers resources for practitioners at all stages, from those just beginning to think about engagement to those who have been engaging their communities for years. These resources will help you better understand your audiences and become more comfortable with interacting in a give-and-take manner, ultimately leading to engagement that is more effective at promoting behavior change outcomes.
