The strategy is a tool designed to be used by IMP educatorsand engagement specialists when developing IMP programming to ensure that each CE initiative is aligned with IMP goals and meets audience needs.  \nIllinois Monarch Project’s  \nFour Fundamental Community Engagement Outcomes  \n——————————————————————————  \nThe IMP CE Strategy is centered on four fundamental learning outcomes. All engagement and education programs and projects will incorporate as many of the first three outcomes as is relevant and appropriate to their scope, with the fourth outcome to be included in all programs and projects.  \n• Understanding connections between monarchs, your life, our shared environment and the need to protect and sustain Illinois breeding and feeding habitat for monarchs.  \n• Empathy for monarchs that inspires Illinois citizens and partners to engage in monarch butterfly conservation.  \n• Taking action that leads to an increase in Illinois breeding and feeding habitat for monarchs.  \n• Identifying the Illinois Monarch Project as the coordinated state-wide Illinois effort to help monarchs thrive throughout Illinois.  \nIllinois Monarch Project’s  \nCommunity Engagement Project Development Process  \nWhat is the IMP Community Engagement (CE) Project Development Process?  \nThe following is the step-by-step process for developing an education or engagement program or project for IMP. This process is intended to standardize IMP programming in terms of approach and striving, in a unified front, toward the same goal. The following is an explanation of each step. Once the steps are understood, use the project development template (p. 7) to develop your program or project and tailor it to your specific audience.  \nStep One: Audience Research  \n1) Familiarize Yourself with the Community  \nFamiliarize yourself with the community you will be serving, including the populations, organizations and possible strategic partners within. To consider:  \n• What are the demographics?  \n• Who are the most influential and prominent community organizations?  \n• Which partnerships might make the most strategic sense?  \n2) Choose Your Audience  \nOnce you have an understanding of your community and possible strategic partners, select the audience or the partner organization for whom or with whom you will develop your program.  \n3) Perform a Needs Assessment  \nPerform a needs assessment of your audience or partner organization. Understanding your audience’s needs, goals, and concerns will allow you to design your program to fulfill both your audience/partner organization’s needs while simultaneously  \naccomplishing the goals of the IMP.  \n• What are their needs?  \n• What are their objectives?  \n• What are their concerns?  \nStep Two: Project Development  \n1) Set Goals  \nThe goal for your project is a big, lofty statement about what you want your project t","cbCaip5VaDmHIJRy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip5VaDmHIJRy","pdf",851702,19,"English","# What is the Illinois Monarch Project?\n# Vision\n# Mission\n# Goals\n# What is the IMP Community Engagement Strategy?\n# Four Fundamental Community Engagement Outcomes\n# Community Engagement Project Development Process\n## Step One: Audience Research\n## Step Two: Project Development","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the IMP Community Engagement Strategy?\",\"answer\":\"It aligns IMP education and engagement initiatives with the IMP mission and goals.
