OCEP builds social capital through its externally facing strategies by 1) deepening the community's awareness of ACS' programs and services; 2) supporting ACS-funded coalitions and planning bodies; and 3) building local and citywide partnerships, with a focus on promoting primary prevention and child and family well-being strategies.
