Support for Collaborations

The Community System Statewide Supports team provides training and technical assistance to collaborations across Illinois. Since 2018, we have built a robust catalog of supports, including a year-long collaboration institute, information on starting a collaboration, on-demand learning and consultations, and an online community where collaboration members can connect.

On-Demand Learning

Our online modules discuss a range of topics related to community systems development—these can be accessed any time.

On-Demand Consultation
