You've been there. You advertise a meeting on Safe Routes to School and a handful of people show up. Busy people drop off your team. The school (or the local government) has a million reasons why your ideas/programs won't work.

Take heart! Many local professionals and organizations are already interested in the "core curriculum" of Safe Routes to School. They simply call it by another name. These are the people who are already connected with the decision makers you need to convince.

This 60 minute webinar will help you identify which local organizations and professionals to target for help in planning and implementing your program. Find out how to tap into their energy by learning to speak their language.

Craig Raborn from the National Center for Safe Routes to School will give a brief introduction providing highlights from the National Center's Community Surveys.

This webinar is part of the Safe Routes Coaching Action Network Webinar Series, developed by America Walks and the National Center for Safe Routes to School.
