How Programs Are Developed

Programs Are Designed With Communities, Not Simply Delivered to Them

BAF’s programs should begin with the needs, realities, and existing strengths of the communities involved.

Program formats, educational materials, delivery teams, referral options, and safeguarding requirements may vary depending on the audience, location, available professionals, and services that can be delivered responsibly.

Before publishing or delivering a program, BAF confirms the scope, available partners, responsible staffing, and practical next steps.

Program information is published only after internal and partner review. Status, dates, locations, eligibility, and outcomes are updated as they are confirmed.
