In community practice, it is rare that a program occurs without connections to other similar or complementary programs. In addition to building a team of individuals to implement the program, building community partnerships is equally important. Partnerships are entities "formed between two or more sectors to achieve a common goal that could not otherwise be accomplished separately" (Meade & Calvo, 2001, p. 1578). A common example of a partnership is an academic-community partnership, or community-campus partnership, which is a partnership between a university and a community organization (Drahota et al., 2016). Partnerships also help with marketing and recruiting participants that may be connected with other programs. Community organizations typically partner to help work toward community change, and, typically, the most successful partnerships include those that have a clear, collaborative focus, an action plan, and champions or leaders committed to having an impact on the community (University of Kansas, 2017).
